The test
The PCR test (polymerase chain reaction, for its acronym in English) is the most reliable so far for the detection of the Covid-19 virus or coronavirus; since it detects its presence from biological samples taken from the patient’s nostrils or throat. It has a very high degree of reliability and it is the most accurate test available to date.
At the beginning of the pandemic, the only way to have access to it was by presenting symptoms and going to the hospital, where qualified health personnel took a nasopharyngeal or oral cavity sample, to later process said sample and obtain a diagnosis.
Since a few months, a new system has been available. it allows the patient to take the test from home, an hotel or an office. Through the at home PCR test service, a sample is taken by a nurse at the patient’s home, the sample is transferred to a certified lab and the results are delivered the same day electronically.
