Methodology
RT PCR: This test utilizes the Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) methodology, which is considered the gold standard for the direct detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. RT-PCR works by converting viral RNA into DNA and then amplifying specific segments of this DNA, allowing for the highly sensitive and specific identification of the virus's genetic material. This method is crucial for confirming active COVID-19 infection, even in early stages or in asymptomatic individuals, and is vital for controlling disease transmission.
