What Is The Test Used To Diagnose Someone With The Coronavirus?

Please keep in mind that the protocol for coronavirus testing is to provide a phone or video-chat evaluation of a patient’s symptoms first, and then to provide any necessary testing either in-person or at-curbside. The tests for coronavirus include the antibody test and the viral test. With the antibody test, a person can be tested to see if they previously had the virus, but with the viral test, a person can be tested to see if they currently have the virus. This viral test is known as the nasal pharyngeal swab, and with this test, a swab (like a Q-tip) is inserted into the patient’s nose, a sample is collected, and then it’s tested.

What Are The Symptoms Of The Coronavirus?

Testing locations like ours are limited in our access to testing kits, so these kits must be kept available to patients who need them like hospitalized patients, healthcare workers, and patients with the more serious symptoms associated with the virus. While the common symptoms include fever, tiredness, and a dry cough, the serious symptoms can include shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, pain or pressure in the chest, and even loss of speech or movement. Both the common and the serious symptoms necessitate staying at home but also getting proper medical attention.

Someone with coronavirus may not actually show any symptoms at all, so even if you and your family are seemingly symptom-free, it’s still important to limit and control interaction, take the recommended precautions, and follow the guidance of your local health officials.
