Meanwhile, health authorities in Abu Dhabi have successfully manufactured a chemical solution that is designed to extract Covid-19 RNA.
The Covid-19 testing process undergoes three main technical steps: collecting swabs taken from patients, extracting the RNA from the virus, and then using the solution to analyse and verify whether the person’s test results are positive or negative, the DOH said in an official statement.
