PCR testing for COVID-19 (UPDATED)
Facilities for testing have been
established at the virology laboratories at MRI, National Hospital Kandy, TH
Karapitiya and TH Anuradhapura.
Update: samples can also be sent to
the Centre for Dengue Research, Faculty of Medicine, USJP.
The designated laboratory for the 17
identified hospitals with isolation facilities are given in the circular below.
At least two major private hospitals
have sent SMS alerts to the registered patients offering COVID-19 PCR tests.
Cost is approx Rs. 17,000/- to 18,000/-. This information is also circulating
on social media.
As clearly stated in the circular
there is NO PLACE for this as a screening test in the private sector.
Indication is ONLY for patients
meeting the current case definition of COVID-19, who are admitted to one of the
17 designated hospitals.
