COVID-19 RT-PCR Test Overview
COVID-19 is a contagious respiratory illness caused by the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2. The virus was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and has since spread rapidly across the globe, causing a pandemic. Symptoms of COVID-19 can range from mild to severe and may include fever, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, body aches, loss of taste or smell, sore throat, and congestion. In severe cases, COVID-19 can lead to pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and even death. The virus is primarily spread through respiratory droplets when an infected person talks, coughs, or sneezes. It can also spread by touching a surface contaminated with the virus and then touching one's face.
COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) Real-Time PCR is a diagnostic test that detects the genetic material of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19. The test uses a technique called polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify and detect small amounts of the virus's genetic material in respiratory samples such as nasal or throat swabs.
The test is highly accurate and specific, and it can detect the virus in the early stages of infection, even before symptoms appear. It is currently considered the gold standard for diagnosing COVID-19 and is used globally as a primary diagnostic tool for detecting SARS-CoV-2.

Coronaviruses are a common group of viruses; while some coronaviruses affect only animals, a few others can also affect humans. It is very likely that all of us have been infected by coronavirus at some point in our life. The symptoms of a coronavirus can range from a mild cold to flu like symptoms to moderate and severe upper-respiratory infections. The SARS epidemic (severe acute respiratory syndrome) was also caused by coronavirus. Coronavirus is also known to affect the gut and hence some patients may suffer from diarrhoea.
The current situation is caused by COVID 19.
Coronavirus infections typically spike up during winter months as the virus can thrive in cold temperatures. So, people typically suffer from cold due to coronavirus in the months that are cold. The immunity is short lived and so we fall prey to cold and flu again.
