Delhi, India’s capital territory, is a massive metropolitan area in the country’s northern part. Delhi is the second-highest densely populated metropolitan city in India after Mumbai. The number of Covid-19 positive cases surged drastically, and within the maximum single-day spike, most people were tested positive for Covid-19 in the first and second waves. The number of active Covid-19 cases has been recorded high in Delhi.
Coronavirus variants impact the lungs directly, thereby reducing its capacity, restricting the intake of oxygen, and damaging the alveoli.
Today, there is a great global surge in Omicron cases. The coronavirus’s mutated form, known as the Omicron, is spreading very fast in the world.

Globally, India is the second-most densely populated nation. The community transmission rate of coronavirus is mainly in the Metropolitan Cities of India, in Delhi. So, considering the safety of people, there are different testing methods suggested by ICMR.

What are the different COVID test methods?
- RT PCR test is performed to confirm active coronavirus in our human body.
- This test is done with high accuracy recommended by ICMRand then sent to a nearby certified lab in Delhi for a complete analysis.
- RT-PCR test is a scientific laboratory technique that allows reverse RNA transcription into DNA to detect the Covid 19 virus. The nasal and throat swab is collected from an individual to diagnose. Even though the viral load is less, it can be detected well through this molecular-based diagnostic test method.
- Rapid Antigen Test tests are immunoassay (biochemical tests) that discovers antigens expressed by the covid virus in the sample. From the respiratory passages, we get the result within 30 minutes.
- Antigen tests can perform a clinical diagnosis in symptomatic persons during the first five days of symptoms appearing. However, the rapid antigen test is not recommended for screening asymptomatic people.
- To do this antigen test, a swab is used to collect a sample from an individual’s nose.
- Many commercial laboratories call the serology test an antibody test. It is used to identify people infected by covid -19 previously for at least 1-3 weeks.
- This test will show a defence response to the infection and detect previous infections with no symptoms.
- In this method, the blood sample is usually collected by a finger prick or by drawing blood from the vein in an individual’s arm. Later, the sample is tested to determine whether the individual has developed antibodies against the virus.

Sample Swab Collection through Throat
- First, tilt the patient head backside slowly and keep the chin steady. Then the patient needs to open the mouth as wide as possible.
- A tongue depressor is used to depress the tongue of the individual. This allows for examination of the mouth and throat.
- Then a clean swab can be taken from the tonsils and posterior part of the pharynx thoroughly in a rotating motion.
Sample Swab Collection through Nasal
- First, tilt the patient head backside slowly, and keep the chin steady.
- Next, swab will be inserted in the nose parallel to the roof of the mouth till the nasal turbinates. Twirl the swab for a few seconds while removing it in a rotating mode.
