    This document provides information about COVID-19 testing. It defines COVID-19 as a viral infection caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It explains that testing is important to identify infected individuals and prevent further spread. Common symptoms that may indicate exposure include fever, cough, loss of taste or smell, and difficulty breathing. Precautions like social distancing, masks, and hand washing can help prevent spread. The testing procedure involves collecting a nasal swab sample, which involves inserting a swab into the nose, and submitting it for analysis to determine if SARS-CoV-2 is present.

    TESTING

    BY: DANIELLE ALI


    OBJECTIVES
    At the end of this teaching and demonstration the patient will
    be able to:
    1. Define Covid-19 Virus
    2. Explain the significance of being tested for the Covid-19
    Virus.
    3. Identify the symptoms that suggest you may be exposed to
    the virus.
    4. What are some precautions that can help prevent the
    spread of COVID-19?
    5. Outline the testing procedure.
    01
    Define COVID-19
    Virus
    Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a viral
    infection caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
    The coronavirus surfaced in December 2019
    and has produced a respiratory epidemic.
    COVID-19 may be fatal since it spreads from
    person to person, and it has caused millions
    of fatalities worldwide as well as long-term
    health issues in those who have survived the
    sickness (John Hopkins Medicine, 2021).
    02
    Explain the
    significance of
    being tested for
    the COVID-19
    Virus.
    Explain the significance of being tested
    for the COVID-19 Virus.

    Testing is critical in our efforts to limit


    and manage the COVID-19 pandemic
    by identifying sick persons and
    preventing additional COVID-19
    person-to-person spreading to your
    family and others in your community.
    03Identify the
    symptoms that
    suggest you may be
    exposed to the virus.
    Based on mild to moderate circumstances, the doctor will identify symptoms that
    indicate you may have been exposed to the virus, such as:

    Fever Loss of taste or smell Body aches

    Shaking chills Sore throat Joint pain

    Difficulty breathing or
    Cough Muscle pain
    Shortness of breath

    Fatigue Headaches

    Diarrhea Nausea or vomiting

    (WHO, 2021)
    04
    What are some
    precautions that can
    help prevent the spread
    of Covid-19?
    What are some precautions that can help
    prevent the spread of Covid-19?
    The virus spreads mostly through close contact; normally,
    a person becomes infected when aerosols or droplets
    containing the virus are inhaled or come into direct
    contact with the nose, or mouth, (WHO, 2021). To prevent
    the spread, some precautions were implemented to the
    public such as:
    • Social distancing measures (At least 1 metre apart)
    • Wear a properly fitted mask
    • Clean your hands often. Use soap and water, or sanitize.
    • Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing.
    • Get vaccinated when a vaccine is available to you.
    • If you feel unwell, stay home and self-quarantine until
    you recover.
    • Etc.
    05
    Outline the testing
    procedure.
    TYPES OF TESTS

    Viral testing, often known as diagnostic tests, can


    determine whether you have SARS-CoV-2, the virus
    that causes COVID-19. Diagnostic tests are classified
    into two types: molecular and antigen (CDC, 2021).
    WHO SHOULD GET TESTED?
    • People who have symptoms of COVID-19.
    • People who have come into close contact with someone with COVID-
    19 should be tested to check for infection
    • Unvaccinated people who have taken part in activities that put them
    at higher risk for COVID-19 because they cannot physically distance
    as needed to avoid exposure, such as travel, attending large social or
    mass gatherings, or being in crowded or poorly-ventilated indoor
    settings.
    • If you are traveling overseas.
    • People who have been asked or referred to get tested by their
    healthcare provider (CDC,2021).
    HOW YOU SHOULD GET TESTED?

    Contact your health provider, or visit your


    community health center or the nearest hospital
    in your district.
    How to Collect a Nasal Mid-Turbinate
    Specimen for COVID-19 Testing
    Use only an authorized specimen collection kit. Get a kit from your healthcare provider or a testing center. Kits are available at a
    pharmacy or other retail outlet. Follow the instructions included with the specimen collection kit. Use only materials provided in the kit
    to collect and store or mail the specimen unless the kit says to do otherwise. Use these instructions with kits that specify a nasal mid-
    turbinate swab collection.
