According to research published in the British Medical Journal on Tuesday, patients will have to wait a month before responding to find out if they have cleared the virus.
The study also suggests that about one in five negative tests is a false negative, meaning many are still spreading the virus after doing a negative test without knowing it.
Even if patients test negative, many patients report that their symptoms – from eating to brain haze and odor loss to the affected mood – can last for months.
And while still unaware of the virus, Lee said it’s not clear when “long-distance” patients will return to their former lives.
Tests available for $ 5 in September
Lack of access to tests is a barrier to controlling the coronavirus epidemic in the U.S., experts say. But this month, states will send 5 quick tests to the states, the U.S. said. Admiral Brett Giroire, head of Covid-19 testing efforts, said Tuesday.
No tool is required to read the nasal swab antigen test and it comes with a free smartphone app so that the healthcare provider can record the test results and send it to public health systems automatically.
Giroir said 48 million tests a month are performed in the U.S. Will be available for
“I want to assure you all that we will continue to build a test ecosystem to make the turn agile and save lives,” Giroire said. “Full speed in terms of quantity, quality and diversity of testing to support our national strategy.”
U.S. The catastrophic spring delay in has especially improved test availability and speed. Giroire said 91.1%% of major referral labs, which have taken nearly half the tests in the U.S., have completed their results in three days. The average turnaround time in August Gust for large referral labs was 2.27 days.
Yet, with an average delay of 2.27-days, the virus has spread peacefully, and experts in the public health and laboratory industry have repeatedly called on the federal government to take a major leadership role in coordinating testing supplies.
Found in the sewer system of Kovid University
Now that many colleges and universities are returning to the classroom, cases are being reported across campus.
According to CNN, a total of 25,000 cases have been reported in colleges and universities in 37 states. Among them are the University of Missouri, which has 4૨4 active cases among students since classes resumed last week, and the University of South Carolina, which has registered 100,000,000 active cases.
Mandatory quarantine is effective immediately and will continue until the test result is returned. The USA has also activated the Covid Care team to arrange resources to assist affected students, including food distribution.
Amanda Derito, director of the university, said the test was not new to Utah, which began shortly after the epidemic began and had been successful in monitoring the spread of the disease. “The advantage of water testing is that we get a snapshot of what’s going on on campus and it can be differentiated before the student becomes therapeutic. It’s also aggressive.”
Some officers lag behind as other officers proceed to reopen
Some state and local officials are taking further steps to curb the spread of the virus, while others are moving to reopen.
Oregon Govt. Kate Brown extended the state of emergency coronavirus until November 3rd.
“When I last raised the Covid-1 state emergency in June, I told the Reg Regions that we were at a crossroads: we could work together to stop the spread of COVID-19 in Reagan, or we could be infected and hospitalized. We can see the markets, “Brown said in a statement. “Unless there is an effective vaccine for Covid-19, the disease could spread like wildfire if we disappoint our guards.”
But elsewhere, officials are easing measures.
Under California’s new four-tiered reopening system, San Francisco officials announced that the city will move to Phase 2, which will be able to reopen outside hair salons, nail salons, massage parlors and gyms in the coming days. More entertainment sites and places of worship will be able to open next week with limitations.
And the Governor of North Carolina. Roy Cooper announced Friday that the state would bring its resumption to Phase 2.5, which would increase gatherings to 50 people inside and outside the home. Playgrounds with limited capacity museums and aquariums will be opened.
“We encourage North Carolina to stay steady on most people and see a decline on some of our key data metrics,” Cooper said. “Because of our steady numbers, today we are ready to step forward carefully.”
CNN’s G’s Greer, Maggie Fox, Lure Ren Mascarenhas, Renee Bahrain, Rosa Flores, Jane Christensen and Nakia McCaneb will contribute to the report.
