Greenville, N.C. — North Carolina reported record-breaking coronavirus case numbers on New Year’s Day and a significantly elevated number on Saturday, but there’s reason to believe that the actual case counts could be higher. A report from the Center for Disease Control shows that the Sofia coronavirus antigen test showed false negative results in about 60 percent of those with asymptomatic coronavirus cases. The Sofia antigen test was the first to get FDA emergency approval, and is one of the types of antigen tests being used in North Carolina.
