Canonical URL: https://conspirograph.com/topic/covid-19/card/736
A COVID-19 PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test is a highly accurate diagnostic lab test that detects the genetic 🧬 material (RNA) of the virus that causes COVID-19. The sample goes to a laboratory where technicians use a special process to copy small amounts of the virus's genetic material so it becomes easy to spot. PCR allows scientists to take a single, microscopic 🔬 strand of 🧬 DNA and amplify it into billions of copies within a few hours.
