Covid-19 Testing in Delhi - Curodoc Healhcare

 COVID TESTING

COVID-19 tests can detect either SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, or antibodies that your body makes after getting infected or vaccinated.

RT-PCR tests for COVID, like other infectious tests, can tell you if you have an infection at the current time. Antibody test can tell you if you have had an infection in the past.

RT-PCR Tests

There are two types of tests: laboratory and rapid tests. Samples are taken from the nose or mouth. Laboratory tests take 24 hours for reporting. Rapid tests are self-test kits which can be performed in minutes and can give the result in 2 to 3 hours.

COVID-19 self-test kit is a big part of risk reduction measure, along with vaccination, masking, and physical distancing, that protects you and others by reducing the chances of spreading the virus.



Antibody Tests

An antibody test can detect antibodies to COVID virus in your blood that your immune system makes to help fight infection and protect you from getting sick in the future.

Looking on when to get tested (even if you are vaccinated)? If you have -

  • Symptoms of COVID-19
  • Come in close contact with someone with confirmed COVID-19
  • Travelling in an airplane or train

If you are feeling sick or weak, you should stay at home and isolate yourself. You can also get help from home healthcare providers like Curodoc who offer home COVID management package, post-COVID rehabilitation, post-COVID care, and essential medical equipment rentals such as oxygen cylinders, vitals monitoring system, home ICU setup, hospital bed, oxygen concentrators, wheelchair, etc at affordable rates.
