COVID-19 Diagnosis
The primary method for diagnosing COVID-19 is the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test, which detects viral genetic material from respiratory samples with high accuracy.
COVID-19 Treatment
There is currently no targeted antiviral treatment for COVID-19, and most people experience mild to moderate symptoms that resolve without specific treatment. However, in severe cases, hospitalisation with supportive care such as oxygen therapy, IV fluids and medications to relieve symptoms may be required.
For those with long-term symptoms, our Post-COVID Treatment Package at Emirates Hospitals Group offers a comprehensive examination and a tailored treatment plan to manage and help you cope with any ongoing side effects.
