severe
How is COVID-19 diagnosed? There are three tests. —–
PCR test, antigen test, and antibody test
These tests confirm viral exposure in the recent past and do not test for the virus directly —–
Antigen tests
This is the standard method for confirming a case of COVID-19. Test of swab samples obtained from the nose or throat —–
rRT-PCR test | real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction test
In this test, the results can be obtained from within a few hours to several days —–
PCR test
This test typically involves a nasal or throat swab, or a saliva test —–
Antigen test
This test typically is performed via a blood test —–
antibody test
This test can identify the presence of your body’s antibodies against the virus, which indicates that they have been exposed in the past —-
antibody test
