About Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The 2019–20 coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is an ongoing pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that can be dangerous for some people.

The virus is primarily spread between people during close contact (coughing, sneezing, or talking) or by touching a contaminated surface and then their face. The virus can survive on surfaces for up to 72 hours. It is most contagious during the first three days after the onset of symptoms. Common symptoms include fever, cough and shortness of breath. Complications may include pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. The time from exposure to onset of symptoms is typically around five days, but may range from two to fourteen days. There is no known vaccine or specific antiviral treatment.Primary treatment is symptomatic and supportive therapy.

Recommended preventive measures

  • Hand washing
  • Covering one’s mouth when coughing
  • maintaining distance from other people
  • monitoring and self-isolation for people who suspect they are infected

INFORMATION ON GOVERNMENT GUIDANCE FOR COVID TESTING

The advice from the government on Covid testing can indeed be somewhat difficult to fully understand. The government has advised that home testing kits, with results in minutes from a drop of blood are not currently legal and should not be sold

WE DO NOT SELL THE BLOOD HOME TESTING KITS

We are currently selling a self-swab throat and nasal home collection biological sample kit.

The DNA collected by the swab is sent to our UKAS laboratory where it is analysed and resulted under sophisticated conditions which reflect the standards carried out in all labs currently providing Covid testing. The accuracy of the test is 99%.

 

FAQs – Home Test Kit

What symptoms do you get with COVID-19?

You can expect the following symptoms if you have a COVID-19 infection:

  • cough
  • fatigue
  • fever
  • shortness of breath

Some people infected with COVID-19 have no symptoms at all. They can still infect other people though.

How do you catch COVID-19?

The COVID-19 virus is transmitted by respiratory droplets. If an infected person sneezes or coughs they spray out virus-loaded droplets. Other people can breathe in the droplets and may become infected too. It is possible to get infected by COVID-19 if you touch a contaminated surface and transfer the viruses to your face.

Do I need a COVID-19 test?

If you are experiencing any of the symptoms of COVID-19, or if you have come into contact with someone who has COVID-19, or have returned from a country with a high incidence of COVID-19 consider testing yourself for this viral infection.

How does the Covid-19 PCR test work?

The Zen Healthcare test uses state of the art PCR techniques to look for the Wuhan strain of the virus. The principle of PCR is to extract, amplify and identify the viral RNA sequence of the virus. This testing method ensures the high degree of specificity of this test for the Wuhan and related strains of Coronavirus nCoV-2019. Our test is sensitive to fewer than 100 copies of the target viral RNA, making it a highly accurate test..

 
How accurate is the test?

This Covid-19 test is 99.9% accurate with the correct sample taking technique. It is important that you follow the instructions included in your test kit.

How Covid-19 Antibody Test works

The kit is extremely easy to use and requires just a few drops of blood which you collect yourself using our finger prick kit..
