    Specific diagnosis of COVID-19 requires molecular testing of respiratory samples such as throat swabs or sputum, as the virus may be detected in these sites. While some cases are asymptomatic or without fever, a confirmed case has a positive molecular test result. Samples from suspect cases in India must currently be sent to designated reference laboratories or the National Institute of Virology in Pune for testing, as commercial tests are not yet available and multiplex PCR panels do not normally include testing for COVID-19.

    contact with patients with similar


    travel history or those with confirmed
    COVID-19 infection. However cases
    may be asymptomatic or even without
    fever. A confirmed case is a suspect
    case with a positive molecular test.

    Specific diagnosis is by specific


    molecular tests on respiratory samples
    (throat swab/ nasopharyngeal swab/
    sputum/ endotracheal aspirates and
    bronchoalveolar lavage). Virus may
    also be detected in the stool and in
    severe cases, the blood. It must be
    remembered that the multiplex PCR
    panels currently available do not
    include the COVID-19. Commercial tests
    are also not available at present. In a
    suspect case in India, the appropriate
    sample has to be sent to designated
    reference labs in India or the National
    Institute of Virology in Pune. As the
    epidemic progresses, commercial tests
