RHS ESSENTIAL
COVID-19 FACT FOR TODAY:
- If a person has worrying, flu-like symptoms and has been in contact with a coronavirus carrier or has recently travelled in a coronavirus-affected area, then they need to be screened.
- Screening consists of respiratory swabs performed by a doctor, physiotherapist, nurse or pathology lab- of the throat/tonsils, back of the pharynx and sometimes deeper down in the respiratory tree.
- There are some centralised laboratories in South Africa to which all samples will be couriered. These tests are very specialised. If a swab comes back negative and the patient continues to have symptoms, a repeat swab may be needed.
- Blood tests testing for antibodies against the virus are currently being developed.
At RHS, we work together to flatten the curve and do this by taking responsibility for changing our behaviour in class and in public!
