Yes, there is RT PCR test which can detect SARS COV 2 Viruses.

Please analyze my COVID 19 IgG antibody test report. The result shows 0.7 AU/mL. I have attached the report for your detailed review.

I was tested for COVID 19 on the 3rd and 7th day after coming in contact with a COVID positive person. Both tests were negative, although I had a bad sore throat at the time. On the 10th day, I experienced reduced sense of smell and a fever of 99.4 degrees F in the afternoon. I started following a COVID protocol, and today is my 13th day. I no longer have a sore throat, but sometimes I still get a fever of 99.4 degrees F. When should I test again, and how long will it take for me to fully recover?
