NEW DELHI: In a bid to ensure a quick diagnosis of the virus infection and, hence, quick action, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has recommended the use of Standard Q COVID-19. The test detects antigens via nasal swab and the Council has recommended its use in containment zones as well as in medical settings. The test allows result determination in up to 30 minutes.
ICMR said that people living in containment zones who have influenza-like symptoms must be checked for the virus using this test. Asymptomatic people, who have come in contact with the aforementioned, must also be checked regularly between day 5 and 10 of coming in contact with the infected.
