Coronavirus (COVID-19) FAQs

The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are fever, tiredness, and dry cough. Some patients may have aches and pains, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat or diarrhea. These symptoms are usually mild and begin gradually. Some people become infected but don’t develop any symptoms and don’t feel unwell. Most people (about 80%) recover from the disease without needing special treatment.

Mandatory documents defined by Govt. of India without which testing of COVID 19 is not allowed: 1) Patient Information Form (Patient Proforma, to be provided by Agilus Lab personnel and filled by the patient) 2) Referring doctor’s prescription (requirement may vary depending upon mandate by the respective state government guidelines) and 3) Govt. photo-id ( Aadhaar card/ Voter Id / Passport) to support the current address and contact number of the suspect patient to be provided at the time of sample collection.

As per guidelines, if you develop the acute onset of fever and symptoms of respiratory illness, such as cough or shortness of breath you should visit your nearest health facility and the doctor will decide if you need to be tested for COVID-19, depending upon your history of travel to affected countries or contact with any suspects.
