The COVID-19 RT-PCR test is a real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction test for the qualitative detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2 in upper and lower respiratory specimens.
Previously it was taking 3-4 days because of the sample load in a particular lab or diagnostic centre was too much. These days one gets it within max 2 days at the best from sample collection.
