Preliminary tests for novel coronavirus include chest CT (or X-ray) and routine blood tests. The cost of the test varies by hospital level and is approximately $300-350. If the test results are consistent with the characteristic manifestations of viral pneumonia, pathogenetic testing is required, which is free of charge. If the result is positive, the diagnosis is confirmed and the subsequent treatment is carried out in a designated hospital at the expense of the state treasury. Therefore, when a patient has had close contact with a person infected or suspected of being infected with the novel coronavirus, or has traveled, worked or lived in an infected area or other endemic areas, and has developed symptoms such as fever, malaise, dry cough, nasal congestion, runny nose, headache and diarrhea, it is recommended to register for consultation at the fever clinics of local hospitals.
