Transbaikalia: Coronavirus test did not work right away

Doctors told why a Chinese citizen with coronavirus in the blood was released from the clinic and went freely for five days. A new -type coronavirus test did not work right away.

“The concentration of the virus was small, and the T-system simply did not see it for the first time. But when they took the analysis for the second time, the concentration was sufficient for the system to determine the presence of the disease,” Olga Gredushko, head of the Laboratory of Hygiene and Epidemiology, quotes the Laboratory of the Laboratory of the Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology.

Doctors admitted that it is very difficult to determine the virus in the human blood during the incubation period due to its low concentration. Now in Russian hospitals, if they suspect coronavirus, several tests are made.

• In Russia, two cases of coronavirus have been recorded at the moment: in Transbaikalia and Tyumen. Both patients are China citizens and they are recovering.
• Russian citizens are evacuated from China to a sanatorium under Tyumen. Here they will have to stay on a two -week quarantine.
• In the world, 492 people died from a new type of coronavirus, and about 24 thousand are infected.
