Portuguese term or phrase: não exclui a COVID-19
Nota:
Um resultado não reagente para anticorpos anti-SARS-CoV-2 não exclui a COVID-19 e não deve ser utilizado isoladamente para a suspensão do isolamento domiciliar.
Resultados não reagentes podem ocorrer em pacientes assintomáticos ou sintomáticos com SARS-CoV-2 detectado no exame de RT-PCR em qualquer momento durante a evolução da infecção, principalmente, mas não exclusivamente, nos primeiros 20 dias do início dos sintomas.
Este exame não deve ser utilizado para avaliação de pacientes com sintomas respiratórios agudos.

neutral  Cátia Santana: O que o texto quer dizer é que embora o resultado seja não reagente, ele não exclui/descarta o diagnóstico de COVID-19

neutral  TechLawDC: The author is writing about differential diagnosis. Your rewriting of the author is far too radical. Even "might still allow the possibility of Covid-19" would also constitute unjustified rewriting of the author, IMO, albeit to a lesser degree.

does not exclude the possibility of Covid-19


Explanation:
5940 Google hits.
Cf. "does not exclude Covid-19", which has only 1600 Google hits.
I think "does not exclude the possibility of Covid-19" is in a slightly higher register.

"does not exclude the possibility of" "the disease" gets 155000 Google hits.
It is quite idiomatic and I have seen it literally thousands of times in my work.
