Whether for peace of mind, or due to work and travel requirements, testing for Covid-19 in Klang Valley is easier and more convenient than before. Here are some important things to know about RT-PCR and RTK Antigen testing before you go for your tests.
What is the difference between RT-PCR and RTK-Antigen test?
How is the nasal swab test done?
A nasal swab test will require you to tilt your head back, while a cotton swab will be twirled at the back of the nose through the nostril. This is required to collect a sample of the secretions for analysis. The doctor/ certified swabber will insert the swab into both nostrils, to ensure that enough samples are collected for testing.
What does the CT value on my RT-PCR mean?
