Stay Healthy:Covid Testing Categories

 

While this pandemic hit us hard, the medical fraternity is constantly working in the preparation to bash this virus and protect the public from further health catastrophy. Currently, our nation perhaps maybe the other parts of world too opted 2 main methods in diagnosing COVID 19 virus. They are RTK(Rapid Test Kit) and PCR. Seems PCR appear more reliable and accurate in diagnosing this infection compared to RTK despite it is used to obtain quick results, unlike PCR which takes 2 to 3 days.Government hold a policy for testing the patients or encounters based on this 3 categories as listed below:

A: Patient infected with COVID 19

B: Close contact with patient A; needs immediate swab

C:Close contact with person in category B,infectivity status pending

It is our responsible to act proactively and sensitive towards the current happening especially healthfront.Our negligience may lead to fatality!
