Who is the test for
The test for the diagnosis of Covid-19 that allows you to identify who has come into contact with the virus by detecting it in the respiratory secretions.

What the tests detect
The diagnostic test is based on a real-time RT-PCR assay, which allows to detect even very low concentrations of viral RNA.
The test consists in taking a sample of the upper respiratory tract with a swab, in the extraction of RNA and amplification by Real Time RT-PCR which searches in the extracted sample specific sequences of the SARS-CoV-2 virus genome.
