Omicron spreads 6 times faster than the previous strains, while its symptoms are easily confused with those of the common cold (runny nose, cough, headache).
Why is it important to determine the strain of coronavirus?
- Given the high contagiousness of omicron, its detection will help to take emergency measures to protect relatives and friends.
- Assess the likelihood of possible complications: with Omicron, cytokine storm and lung damage develop less frequently. This information is especially relevant for patients from the risk groups (children, elderly, patients with chronic diseases or obesity).
The result gets ready in 24 hours.
Qualitative determination of the Omicron strain is carried out when passing the PCR test.
If you are unable to come to the clinic, testing can be performed at home or in the office. You also have access to round-the-clock services: remote consultations of doctors on duty and calling a doctor or an ambulance to your home (up to 50 km from the Moscow Ring Road). If necessary, we provide coronavirus treatment at home.
We remind you that all types of COVID-19 diagnostics are available at EMC (PCR test in 2 hours, antigen test in 15 minutes, quantitative determination of antibodies), vaccination, check-up after COVID-19, as well as super-efficient recovery programs at the Medical Rehabilitation Center.
