With more than 828,000 cases reported across the globe, coronavirus or novel coronavirus is spreading exponentially. The acute respiratory syndrome causing a virus is a part of a group of Coronaviruses that causes a disease called COVID-19. Now that India is under a massive 21-days lockdown, people aren’t allowed to exit their homes unless it is for something essential.
At present, there are a few authorized coronavirus testing centres across India that are authorized to conduct ‘COVID-19 SARS-CoV-2 Detection’ which takes more than a day to three days for the reports to arrive only after that, the suspect is let go if the reports are negative while a positive result could trigger a number of outputs such as home quarantine to isolation at home or hospital based on the condition of the patient.
This has apparently given rise to people falling ill or having fever or cold which are a few symptoms of novel coronavirus and this has sparked scare around India even though the majority of cases will be usual flu or cold. Practo, a popular doctor appointment booking service is now offering a home-based COVID-19 detection test that you can book online.
