The virus has a five-day incubation period and can be tested after interaction with a confirmed individual on the fifth day.

In our country, the number of coronavirus cases has risen dramatically. Every day, I hear confirmed cases from coworkers, relatives, and others in my immediate vicinity. Self-testing is encouraged on a regular basis.

You should get tested if you suspect you have COVID-19 or if you have been in contact with someone who has tested positive. A quick antigen test kit can be used to test yourself.

Testing for Covid-19 immediately after contact with a confirmed person would not produce accurate findings due to the virus’s incubation time. To get more reliable test results, do the coronavirus test on the 4th to 5th day after interaction with the confirmed person.

Those with symptoms, individuals who have been in close contact with those who have been diagnosed, and those who have been tested before attending gatherings are all encouraged to self-test for COVID-19, according to the Ministry of Health.

When testing for COVID-19, you should avoid doing items that could affect your results, such as eating, smoking, cleaning your teeth, chewing gum, or using mouthwash for at least an hour before the test.
