Hi. If you have cough or fever (either low grade or a high grade), with breathing discomfort or any other symptoms, then the only way to find out whether you have COVID-19 or not is to get tested.
In response to the growing COVID-19 pandemic, multiple diagnostic test manufacturers have developed and begun selling rapid and easy-to-use devices.
However, before these tests can be recommended, they must be validated in the appropriate populations and settings. Inadequate tests may miss patients with active infection or falsely categorize patients as having the disease when they do not, further hampering disease control efforts.

Now the question arises, which test to get it done??
Listen to this video till the end to find out about the different kinds of tests available, which diagnostic test is best and how each kind of diagnostic plays a role in the fight against COVID-19.
