TYPES OF COVID 19 TESTS DONE !!!!!!!

THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF CORONAVIRUS TESTS. TWO DIAGNOSE WHETHER YOU HAVE AN ACTIVE INFECTION, AND THE THIRD ONE INDICATES IF YOU PREVIOUSLY HAD THE VIRUS. SO TODAY LET'S DISCUSS ABOUT IT.




1) GENETIC TESTS
MOST TESTS LOOK FOR BITS OF GENETIC MATERIAL OF THE VIRUS AND REQUIRE A NASAL SWAB THAT IS TAKEN AND SENT TO A LAB. THIS IS CONSIDERED THE MOST ACCURATE WAY TO DIAGNOSE AN INFECTION BUT IT'S NOT PERFECT. THE SWAB HAS TO GET A GOOD ENOUGH SAMPLE, SO ANY VIRUS CAN BE DETECTED.THESE TESTS TAKE HOURS TO PROCESS AT LAB, SO YOU LIKELY WON'T GET THE RESULT BACK FOR AT LEAST A DAY.OTHER GENETIC TEST USE SALIVA, INSTEAD OF A SWAB.



2) ANTIGEN TESTS
A NEWER TYPE OF TEST LOOKS FOR PROTEINS FOUND IN THE SURFACE OF CORONAVIRUS, RATHER THAN THE VIRUS ITSELF. ANTIGEN TEST AREN'T AS ACCURATE AS GENETIC TESTS, BUT ARE CHEAPER, FASTER AND REQUIRE LESS SPECIALISED LAB EQUIPMENT. THEY STILL REQUIRE A NASAL SWAB BY A HEALTH PROFESSIONAL.




3)ANTIBODY TESTS
ANTIBODY TESTS LOOK FOR PROTEIN THAT BODY PRODUCES TO FIGHT OFF INFECTIONS IN A PATIENT'S BLOOD SAMPLE. ANTIBODIES ARE A SIGN THAT A PERSON PREVIOUSLY HAD COVID-19. SCIENTISTS DON'T KNOW YET IF ANTIBODIES PROTECT PEOPLE FROM ANOTHER INFECTION.SO IT IS USED BY RESEARCHERS TO MEASURE WHAT PORTION OF THE POPULATION WAS INFECTED.









SO FRIENDS, THAT'S ALL FROM THIS POST STAY TUNED FOR MORE...
BYE!!!!

However, if your kitchen feels unwelcoming and is prone to a lot of chaos then it is time to reorganise and realign the space. Experts identify the troublesome areas of the kitchen and give solutions to make it a calm and peaceful space.    Problem 1: Absence of Natural Light “If there is no natural light in the kitchen, a combination of ambient lighting and task lighting is the way to go.  All downlights should be directed towards the overhead cabinets so that the countertops are also well-lit. Since a single light fixture creates a lot of shadow, multiple lighting sources should be incorporated to create an overlapping effect which prevents dark parches in the kitchen. Introduce LED strip lights under the overhead cabinets to provide focussed illumination on the countertop, hob and sink .One can also upgrade the look of th...
