This confirmed the sensitivity of the RT-LAMP assay for detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in samples corresponding to a CT \u003c 30. We observed small differences between different plates on the exact sensitivity threshold, probably caused by slight variability in plate or reagent handling. We found two RT-qPCR–negative samples that scored positive in the RT-LAMP assay (Fig. 3A and Table 1) and one sample that scored just below the ΔOD cutoff of +0.3. The overall specificity of the RT-LAMP test was 99.7% (Wilson’s 95% confidence interval: 98.9 to 99.9%), and the sensitivity for samples with CT \u003c 30 on RT-qPCR was 97.5% (Wilson’s 95% confidence interval: 91.4 to 99.3%) (Fig. 3B and table S2)."}
