Opt for a Rapid Antigen Test (RAT) for an instant report. If RAT is negative and there are symptoms, undertake an RT-PCR test! Incidentally, if the RAT test is positive, you should start quarantining. You should also consult a doctor, so that you can start medication right away.
If you want a more comprehensive report, then go in for an RT-PCR test. Other tests include the D'dimer Test or the qCRP, which can scan the body for the virus more effectively. Certain doctors also say that the latest wave has led to new and rare symptoms such as blood clotting, in which case, these tests will be required.
You can also opt for a CT scan, which will reveal your CT Value and CT Score.
If by chance your RT-PCR test is negative, even if you have persistent symptoms and respiratory issues, go for a CT Scan, which will reveal your CT Value and CT Score. Cycle Threshold Value is a marker for the viral load in a patient. Lower the CT Value, higher the severity.
Doctors may conduct CT Scan of the patient's chest to determine the CT Score. A high score is directly proportional to the infection's intensity
If 2 weeks have passed after taking both the doses of vaccination & there are no symptoms, then testing is not required even after coming in contact with a COVID patient.
