For example, it should be taken from the nasopharynx, where the virus is most concentrated, by specialist healthcare professionals. Otherwise, even if the person is infected with the corona virus, it may be negative due to technical errors in taking the culture material. Then, it is very important to send the culture sample taken to the authorized laboratory within the framework of hygiene rules.

The samples are taken for the COVID-19 PCR test according to the findings in the preliminary examination of those who apply to hospitals with complaints such as fever, cough, shortness of breath and diarrhea.
