Klappentext

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought the world of medical testing to the forefront. Millions of people have undergone swabs, gargled for samples, and waited anxiously for results. But what happens behind the scenes after that swab leaves your hand? This article delves into the fascinating journey of a COVID-19 test, revealing the intricate steps that lead to a positive or negative result.
The Initial Steps: Collection and Transport
The journey begins with the collection of a sample. The most common method utilizes a nasal swab, gently inserted into the nasal cavity to collect respiratory secretions where the virus might reside. Some tests use an oropharyngeal swab, reaching further back into the throat. Less frequently, saliva samples may be collected.
