Virology Lab Statistics
This dashboard shows the overall daily volume of COVID-19 diagnostic testing performed at Stanford's Clinical Virology Lab in the school’s Department of Pathology. We began running these polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests in early March and antibody tests (Serology) in April. Tests were sent to us from a variety of places, including emergency departments, hospitals, employee health clinics, dialysis centers, organ donor networks, and drive-through screening sites in the greater San Francisco Bay Area. We also ran tests for Stanford Medicine patients and employees.
The vast majority of tests to the left of the dotted line on the graphs were done on symptomatic patients from health care organizations, including Stanford. The dotted line indicates the date when criteria for testing were changed, allowing for more testing of asymptomatic patients and employees.
