Warning from the doctors: BCR Negative does not mean free from corona!

Posted on: 21/Sep/2020 12:03:32 PM
When a person has symptoms of cold, cough, breathing problems, etc., and corona negative is also confirmed, it is essential to take a CT scan!

Medical experts advise that though PCR tests are carried out to confirm the coronavirus infection, and if the report comes as negative, the person cannot conclude that there is no infection and neglect further attention!

Even if BCR reports negative and if there are symptoms for corona, corona infection can be confirmed through CT scan. There are special wards set up in the government hospitals for this category of corona patients. Only if the BCR tests are conducted properly, the corona infection can be confirmed.

During the BCR tests, the stick must be kept inside the nose for 10 seconds. Only if the patient gets subjected to a little discomfort, it means that the sample has been taken properly. There are times when proper samples are failed to be taken for conducting the tests correctly thus leading to a negative report which is unreliable!
