What is the name of the test of coronavirus (COVID - 19)
-
ELISA
-
RT-PCR
-
GFR Test
-
None of these
Correct Answer
A. RT-PCRExplanation
RT-PCR stands for Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction, which is a widely used diagnostic test for COVID-19. This test detects the presence of the virus's genetic material (RNA) in a person's sample. It involves converting the RNA into DNA and then amplifying specific regions of the DNA to determine if the virus is present. ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) is a different type of test used to detect antibodies produced by the body in response to the virus, but it is not the primary test for diagnosing COVID-19. GFR Test (Glomerular Filtration Rate) is a kidney function test and is unrelated to COVID-19.Rate this question:

Wash your hands after every hour.
Correct Answer
A. Cover your nose and mouth when sneezing.Explanation
The correct answer is "Cover your nose and mouth when sneezing." This precaution is important to prevent the spread of respiratory droplets that may contain the virus. Sneezing can release a large number of droplets into the air, which can potentially infect others. By covering the nose and mouth with a tissue or the elbow, the chances of spreading the virus to others can be significantly reduced.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. CrownExplanation
The structure of the corona virus resembles a crown when viewed with a microscope. This is because the virus has spike-like projections on its surface that give it a crown-like appearance.

This therapy involves using the plasma from recovered individuals, which contains antibodies against the virus, to potentially help boost the immune response of the critically ill patient. It is being studied as a potential treatment option for COVID-19 patients, with the hope that the antibodies present in the plasma can help fight off the infection and improve the patient's condition.Rate this question:
