dar positivo: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, explica que, cuando se realiza una prueba para determinar si una persona ha consumido una sustancia o está infectada por algún patógeno, la forma más asentada es "dar positivo en (alcohol, cocaína, coronavirus...)". Puede emplearse también "dar positivo por" si a continuación se especifica la causa de dicho resultado o si se interpreta que se está omitiendo el sustantivo "presencia": dar positivo por (la presencia de) coronavirus. 2, record 1, Spanish, - dar%20positivo
