What is the most highly doctor-rated treatment for COVID-19?

Antiviral medications are given to treat mild to moderate COVID-19 in people who are more likely to get very sick. Antiviral treatments target specific parts of the virus to stop it from multiplying in the body, helping to prevent severe illness and death

What is the difference between PCR and antibody tests?

If there is still concern that a person has COVID-19 after a negative antigen test, then that person should be tested again with a PCR test. A negative antibody test means that the person may not have had COVID-19 in the past.

What is the difference between RAPD and PCR?

Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA or RAPD uses random primers to amplify genomic DNA from different individuals or organisms. PCR products are only formed when the two primers anneal reasonably close and in opposite orientations on different strands

What is RT-PCR?

RT PCR is a nuclear-derived method for detecting the presence of specific genetic material in any pathogen, including a virus.

What is the difference between PCR and the RTPCR test?

The main difference between RT-PCR and rapid PCR is the type of molecule that is being amplified. RT-PCR amplifies the RNA, whereas rapid PCR amplifies the DNA

What is the procedure for testing corona?

To detect COVID-19 virus, typically a phlebotomist takes a blood sample. It's taken by a finger prick or by drawing blood from a vein in your arm. Then the sample goes to a lab for investigation whether you have developed antibodies against the COVID-19 virus. You can now order the test from Apollo24/7 Lab Test.
