Timing of all known respiratory reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) results among recurrent positive pregnant persons (positive test result >90 days from reported symptom onset), Surveillance for Emerging Threats to Mothers and Babies Network, United States, March 29, 2020–December 31, 2020 (n = 142). Data reported as of September 3, 2021. Case ID 4 had positive and negative respiratory RT-PCR tests on day 114; case ID 20 had positive and negative respiratory RT-PCR tests on day 160; case ID 107 had positive and negative respiratory RT-PCR tests on day 186; case ID 135 had positive and negative respiratory RT-PCR tests on days 382 and 389; case ID 139 had positive and negative respiratory RT-PCR tests on day 204. Indeterminate result was defined as one that might indicate the presence of viral RNA but not enough to be considered positive. ID, identification.
