COVID-19 Testing
Understanding COVID-19 Testing
COVID-19 testing is essential for identifying and managing the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19. Testing helps detect active infections, determine if individuals are contagious, and guide appropriate treatment and isolation measures. There are different types of tests available, including molecular tests (PCR), antigen tests, and antibody tests, each serving a specific purpose in diagnosing or assessing past infection.
