Fake negative RT-PCR results

The Chinese General Hospital and Medical Center has warned the public against individuals using its name to sell fake reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) negative test results.

“It has come to our attention that certain individuals are offering fake RT-PCR negative test results from Chinese General Hospital and Medical Center,” the CGHMC said in a statement on Saturday.

“This scheme is made by using an RT-PCR test result and altering the name and personal details of the patient who underwent the COVID testing. It is replaced with the name of another person and corresponding personal details,” it added.
