Firstly, you will need to fill in forms to provide ample details to the centre. Next, a nasopharyngeal swab will be done by inserting a 6-inch cotton bud through the nostrils and throat. In some occasions, nasopharyngeal wash or aspirate, sputum, or tracheal aspiration may be taken too. The samples will be stored appropriately and will be tested within 24 to 72 hours. The results will be informed as soon as it has been yielded.
