SARS-CoV-2 : The respiratory coronavirus pathogen SARS-CoV-2 is the cause of COVID-19. Even if you do not have any symptoms, you most likely have COVID-19 if your COVID-19 test results are positive. Even if you don’t exhibit any symptoms, you may still infect others. If your COVID test is positive, you should stay at home and limit your contact with others.

Influenza A&B:  Commonly known as Flu,  cause by Influenza viruses. The most prevalent kinds of influenza are A and B, and this test can identify between them. Flu infections can be serious and even fatal, but they can also cause mild to severe illness. It has an effect on the nose, throat and occasionally the lungs.

The respiratory syncytial virus (RSV): RSV is a virus that affects both the upper and lower respiratory tracts and produces symptoms like a cold. Children under the age of five are most vulnerable to getting a severe RSV infection that requires hospitalisation.
