This test is also for use with saliva samples collected using the SalivaSecure Saliva Collection Kit either by an HCP or self- collected under the supervision of an HCP in a healthcare setting from individuals suspected of COVID-19. Testing is limited to laboratories certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA), 42 U.S.C. §263a, that meet requirements to perform high complexity tests. This test is also for the qualitative detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2 in pooled samples containing up to 5 individual upper respiratory swab specimens (i.e., oropharyngeal swab and nasopharyngeal swab specimens collected by an HCP and anterior nasal swab specimens collected by an HCP or self-collected under the supervision of an HCP) using individual vials containing transport media. Negative results from pooled testing should not be treated as definitive. If patient’s clinical signs and symptoms are inconsistent 3 with a negative result and results are necessary for patient management, then the patient should be considered for individual testing. Specimens included in pools with a positive or invalid result must be tested individually prior to reporting a result. Specimens with low viral loads may not be detected in sample pools due to the decreased sensitivity of pooled testing. Results are for the identification of SARS-CoV-2 RNA. SARS-CoV-2 RNA is generally detectable in upper respiratory specimens and saliva during the acute phase of infection. Positive results are indicative of the presence of SARS-CoV- 2 RNA; clinical correlation with patient history and other diagnostic information is necessary to determine patient infection status. Positive results do not rule out bacterial infection or co-infection with other viruses. The agent detected may not be the definite cause of disease. Laboratories within the United States and its territories are required to report all results to the appropriate public health authorities. Negative results do not preclude SARS-CoV-2 infection and should not be used as the sole basis for treatment or other patient management decisions. Negative results must be combined with clinical observations, patient history, and epidemiological information. Negative results for SARS-CoV-2 RNA from saliva should be confirmed by testing of an alternative specimen type if clinically indicated. The PerkinElmer® New Coronavirus Nucleic Acid Detection Kit is intended for use by qualified clinical laboratory personnel specifically instructed and trained in the techniques of real-time PCR and in vitro diagnostic procedures. The PerkinElmer® New Coronavirus Nucleic Acid Detection Kit is only for use under the Food and Drug Administration’s Emergency Use Authorization. Principles of the Assay The PerkinElmer® New Coronavirus Nucleic Acid Detection kit uses TaqMan- based real-time PCR technique to conduct in vitro reverse transcription of SARS-CoV-2 RNA, DNA amplification and fluorescence detection. The assay targets specific genomic regions of SARS-CoV-2: nucleocapsid (N) gene and Open Reading Frame 1ab (ORF1ab) gene. The TaqMan probes for the two amplicons are labeled with FAM and ROX fluorescent dyes respectively to generate target-specific signal. The assay includes an RNA internal control (IC, bacteriophage MS2) to monitor the processes from nucleic acid extraction to fluorescence detection. The IC probe is labeled with VIC fluorescent dye to differentiate its fluorescent signal from SARS-CoV-2 targets. The assay also uses a dUTP/UNG carryover prevention system to avoid 4 contamination of PCR products and subsequent false positive results.

Supplementary methods 1.1 Generation of SARS-CoV-2 cDNA 200μL aliquots from swab (nasopharyngeal in VTM), sputum, urine, faeces and serum samples were subjected to RNA extraction using the QIAamp 96 Virus QIAcube HT Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and eluted in 60μL. Reverse transcription was performed using the BioLine SensiFAST cDNA kit (Bioline, London, United Kingdom), total reaction mixture (20μL), containing 10μL RNA extract, 4μL 5x TransAmp buffer, 1μL reverse transcriptase and 5μL nuclease-free water. The reactions were incubated at 25°C for 10 min, 42°C for 15 min and 85°C for 5 min. 1.2 Nested SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR and Sanger sequencing A PCR mixture containing 2μL cDNA, 1.6 μl 25mM MgCl2, 4μL 10x Qiagen Taq Buffer, 0.4μL 20mM dNTPs, 0.3μL Taq polymerase (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and 2μL of 10 μM primer pools as described2. Briefly, first round included the forward (5'-GGKTGGGAYTAYCCKAARTG-3') and reverse (5'-GGKTGGGAYTAYCCKAARTG-3') primers. Cycling conditions were 94°C for 10min, followed by 30 cycles of 94°C for 30s, 48°C for 30s and 72°C for 40s, with a final extension of 72°C for 10 min.
