This is the test that can identify the virus that causes COVID-19. This test is intended for the detection of the SARS-CoV-2. It makes use of Real-Time Reverse Transcriptase (RT)-PCR Diagnostic Panels. As such there is another Covid test which is card test which gives positive or negative. On the other hand Covid 19 RT PCR test gives the viral load. The biggest drawback of the card test is that it gives false negative result i.e. it can give a negative result even if you are Covid positive, hence it is not very reliable test.

This test is done to find out if the person is infected by Covid 19 Virus. No special preparation is required. We give the viral load using RT PCR method. We use a swab to get a sample of mucus or secretions from deep in your nose. PCR is then used to determine if genetic material (RNA) of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID) is present in your sample.
