- The test is carried out in private hospitals (e.g. Manipal Hostpital) on an in-patient basis only i.e. not on an out-patient basis.
- For out-patient, the test is carried out in Rajiv Gandhi Institute for Chest Diseases.
- This hospital is situated very close to NIMHANS in the Wilson Garden/Jaynagar area.
- At the hospital, one needs to register himself/herself and get a test card by paying INR 10.
- Then, one is sent to see a doctor - pulse rate and chest/breathing is examined.
- Finally, one is sent for the actual test; one needs to sign the consent form at the lab.
- A throat swab followed by a nasal swab test is carried out next. The results take around two to three days.
