Diagnosing COVID-19: Testing Challenges by Taufiq Fahlifi Yfzerobrr is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Medical workers in China are struggling to diagnose COVID-19 infections due to shortages of testing kits and capacity. While CT scans can detect signs of the virus, confirmation requires nucleic acid tests which have seen shortages. This has led to delays in confirming infections and treating patients, and some deaths are believed to have occurred because infections could not be confirmed in time. Doctors are trying multiple diagnostic approaches but each has limitations during this outbreak.
