Wetin na di gud ɛn bad tin dɛn we dis we fɔ tɛst pɔsin kin du?

Naw lɛ wi luk di gud ɛn bad tin dɛn we dis kin du.

• Di gud tin dɛn: Dɛn mɔlikul tɛst dɛn ya kin rili sɛnsitiv . Dis min se ivin if pɔsin gɛt smɔl smɔl di vayrɔs na in nos ɔ trot, dis tɛst kin no am. Tink bɔt am, pɔrsin kin gɛt smɔl smɔl pan de vayrɔs na in bɔdi rayt di tɛm we di sik bigin, ɔr we i dɔn nia fɔ wɛl. Ivin na dɛn kayn tɛm ya, dis mɔlikul tɛst kin no di vayrɔs. So, e kin woke fayn fayn wan fɔ no di vayrɔs ɔl di tɛm we di sik de go.Dis na wetin sɔm pipul dɛn kin tek as gold standad fɔ kɔnfɔm COVID-19.

• Di bad tin dɛm: Bɔt dis ay sɛnsitiviti kin bi prɔblɛm sɔmtɛm. Aw yu no? Ivin afta pɔrsin dɔn wɛl frɔm di sik ɛn nɔr de pas ɔda pipul dɛn igen, di vayrɔs we nɔ de wok kin de na in nos ɔ trot fɔ sɔm wiks. Dis min se di vayrɔs dɔn day, bɔt sɔm pat pan am stil de na di bɔdi. Dɛn inactive, non-infectious pies dɛm fɔ di vayrɔs kin kech bak bay dis tɛst. Dɔn, i kin sho as pɔsitiv ivin afta di sik dɔn wɛl. Dis kin mek sɔm pipul dɛn wɔri we nɔr nid fɔ de ɛn nɔr kin de wit ɔda pipul dɛm fɔ lɔng tɛm. Dɔn bak, fɔ pɔsin we want fɔ no di rizɔlt di sem de we dɛn du di tɛst, di tru tin we se i kin tek sɔm dez fɔ mek di rizɔlt kam bak na prɔblɛm bak, mɔ if i fɔ go na trip kwik kwik wan ɔ fɔ ripɔt fɔ wok kwik kwik wan.

Sɛkɔn kayn: Antijen Tɛst – Rapid tɛst we de gi kwik rizɔlt!

Dis na wetin wi kin kɔl ‘rapid test’. Dɛn kɔl am so bikɔs i de gi rizɔlt kwik kwik wan. Dɛn kin gɛt dɛn tin ya as kit we dɛn kin du na os.

Wetin yu de luk fɔ insay dis?

dis tεst dεm de luk pan di protin fragmεnt dεm we de na di sεf fכ di vayrus (vayrus sεf protin dεm). Imajin se if vayrɔs tan lɛk tumbu, dis tan lɛk we yu de luk di spɛshal mak dɛn we de na da tumbu de in skin. if dεn protin fragmεnt dεm ya de, i min se di vayrus de insay di bכdi.

Aw yu kin du dis?

Fɔ antijen tɛst, dɛn kin tek swab frɔm di nos ɔ trot. fכ wan rapid antijen tεst na os, dεn kin tek di sεmpl frכm di fכnt pat na di nos. I nɔ at lɛk fɔ put am insay di nos fɔ di mɔlikul tɛst.

Aw lɔng i go tek fɔ mek di rizɔlt kam?

Di spɛshal tin bɔt dis na dat yu kin gɛt di rizɔlt rayt de na di say we dɛn de du di tɛst, insay lɛk 15 to 30 minit. Na dat mek dɛn tin ya kin rili yusful pan imejensi.

Yu tink se gud ɛn bad say dɛn de fɔ dis?

Yɛs, lɛ wi luk insay dat bak.

• Di gud tin dɛn: Di big bɛnifit we antijen tɛst gɛt na dat dɛn kin gi rizɔlt kwik kwik wan . Imajin se yu fɔ go skul, ɔfis, ɔ atɛnd wan ivent tumara. Dɔn yu kin tek dis tɛst tide ɛn no kwik kwik wan if yu dɔn gɛt di vayrɔs ɔ nɔ gɛt am. Fɔ du dat, i izi fɔ disayd if yu go ebul fɔ atɛnd da ivent de sef wan.

Di impɔtant tin na dat di antijen tɛst de wok fayn fayn wan fɔ no if pɔsin gɛt di sik. Dis na bikɔs pipul dɛm wae kin gɛt dis sik kin gɛt bɔrku vayrɔs na dɛn nos ɛn trot. So, pan ɔl we i nɔ sεnsitiv lεk mכlikul tεst, antijen tεst kin no dis amoun fכ di vayrus.

• Di bad sayd (disavantej dɛn):dis antijen tεst dεm nכ kin sεnsitiv pas di mכlikul tεst dεm we wi bin dכn tכk bכt. Dis min se fɔ mek yu no if yu dɔn gɛt di vayrɔs, yu nid fɔ gɛt sɔm lɛvul pan di vayrɔs na yu bɔdi. We yu gɛt smɔl smɔl pan di vayrɔs , dis tɛst nɔ kin pik am. Dis min se ivin if yu test negatif, if yu gɛt simptom, i nɔ go ebul fɔ 100% shɔ se yu nɔ gɛt COVID-19, mɔ di fɔs tɛm we di sik de.

So, sɔmtɛm ivin if di fɔs antijen tɛst nɔ no di vayrɔs (fals negatif), if yu gɛt sɔm sayn dɛn ɔ yu de sɔprayz, i bɛtɛ fɔ mek dɛn tɛst yu bak insay wan ɔ tu dez. Ɔ yu kin tink bak fɔ go du mɔlikul tɛst lɛk PCR. Bikɔs, if yu rili gɛt di vayrɔs, di vayrɔs we de insay di fɔs dez nɔ go no bay di antijen tɛst bikɔs di vayrɔs nɔ bɔku. Bɔt afta wan ɔ tu dez, di lɛvɛl we di vayrɔs de na di nos ɛn trot kin go ɔp. I tan lɛk smɔl faya we de kam big. Dɔn di antijen tɛst kin mɔs no am. Ripit tɛst kin ridyus di risk fɔ rich di rɔng kɔnklushɔn.

So, di las mɛsej we yu go kɛr go na os:

Okay, so wi don tok big ditel abaut tu kain COVID-19 vayrus test. Wan na mɔlikul tɛst lɛk PCR , ɛn di ɔda wan na antijen tɛst we de gi kwik rizɔlt .

Naw yu go de wɔnda, ‘So uswan a fɔ du?’ Fɔ tru, i dipen pan wetin yu nid, di kayn sik we yu gɛt, aw yu want fɔ gɛt rizɔlt kwik kwik wan, ɛn di risk fɔ di wan dɛn we yu de nia.

Di tin we impɔtant pas ɔl na fɔ go to dɔktɔ if yu gɛt sɔm sayn dɛm fɔ COVID-19 (lɛk fiva, kɔf, yu nɔ de blo shɔt, yu bɔdi de at, yu nɔ de te ɔ smɛl), ɔ if yu tink se yu go dɔn gɛt pɔsin we gɛt di sik.

Yu dɔktɔ kin ɔndastand yu sityueshɔn ɛn ɛksplen ɔl wetin yu nid fɔ no bɔt di tɛst, aw fɔ gɛt am, ɛn wetin fɔ du afta di rizɔlt kam bak. Sɔntɛnde, yu dɔktɔ kin tɛl yu fɔ du wan tɛst ɛn afta dat yu fɔ du ɔda wan bay di rizɔlt. Fɔ ɛgzampul, if yu gɛt sɔm sayn bɔt yu antijen tɛst nɔ fayn, yu dɔktɔ kin tɛl yu fɔ du PCR tɛst.

So, i rili impɔtant fɔ mek wi ɔl tek tɛm wit dis pandemik sityueshɔn. I impɔtant fɔ nɔ jɔs tink bɔt yusɛf, bɔt yu famili, padi dɛn, ɛn yu kɔleja dɛn bak ɛn du tin di rayt we. Fil fri fɔ tɔk to yu dɔktɔ bɔt if i go fayn fɔ yu ɔ pɔsin na yu famili fɔ mek dɛn du tɛst fɔ COVID-19. Dɔn yu go gɛt di rayt gayd.
