Kaalaman tungkol sa COVID-19 Testing
Sa kasalukuyan, ang REAL TIME-POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION (RT-PCR) based testing kits ang inirekomendang gamitin para sa COVID-19 testing. Ayon sa Department Circular 2020-0143 " Public Advisory No. 20-COVID-19 Laboratory Testing", mayroong nang apat (4) na RT-PCR testing kits ang naaprubahan ng Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for commercial use.
Dahil sa potensyal na peligro sa pagpo-proseso ng mga samples para sa COVID-19 testing, ang testing gamit ang RT-PCR test kits ay isinasagawa lamang sa mga laboratoryong may mga prosesong "Quality-Assured " o "Certified" ng Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM).
Samantala, sa advisory na inilabas ng Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ngayong araw, sila ay nag- papaalala sa publiko na WALA PANG COVID-19 POINT-OF-CARE TEST KIT o rapid test kit na aprubado ng ahensya (FDA) sa ngayon. Ang mga point-of-care test kit o rapid test kit ay nagbibigay ng agaran na resulta sa ilang minuto lamang (tulad ng pregnancy test kits).
