What is covid 19?
COVID-19, short for "Coronavirus Disease 2019," is a highly contagious respiratory illness caused by the novel coronavirus, officially named SARS-CoV-2. The virus was first identified in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, and it quickly spread across the globe, leading to a pandemic. COVID-19 primarily spreads through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes, talks, or even breathes, making it crucial to practice preventive measures to mitigate its spread.
At Svasthya ZNJ Labs, we offer comprehensive COVID-19 testing to aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of the disease. Our testing services include:
COVID-19 Testing at Svasthya ZNJ Labs
PCR Testing:
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) testing is a highly sensitive and specific method to detect the presence of the virus's genetic material in a sample collected from the respiratory tract. It is the gold standard for diagnosing active COVID-19 infections.
Antigen Testing
Antigen tests detect specific proteins on the surface of the virus. They provide rapid results, making them valuable for quickly identifying active infections.
Antibody Testing (Serology)
Antibody tests detect antibodies the body produces in response to the virus. This helps determine if an individual has been previously infected, aiding in understanding the prevalence of the disease.
Precautions and Preventive Measures
To reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission, it's vital to follow these precautions:
Wear Masks: Wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth in public settings, especially when social distancing is challenging.
Practice Hand Hygiene: Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
Maintain Distance: Keep a safe distance (at least 6 feet) from others, especially in crowded or enclosed settings.
Avoid Crowded Places: Limit exposure to crowded places and large gatherings.
