How to Find Out Whether You Have Unknowingly Had Coronavirus

With the start of the new normalization process, businesses are opening their doors to the extent permitted. Meanwhile, both employers and employees do not know exactly who has contracted COVID-19 Coronavirus infection and who has not.

Experts say that some people may have contracted COVID-19 Coronavirus infection without being aware of it. At this point, the necessity of whether to conduct screening tests becomes a matter of concern.

"It is possible to determine whether a person has had Coronavirus through antibody testing"

Prof. Dr. Aynur Eren Topkaya, Medical Microbiology Specialist at Yeditepe University Hospitals, stated: "It is possible to determine whether a person has had Coronavirus through antibody testing. The figures shared by the Ministry of Health are numbers belonging to PCR tests conducted particularly for symptomatic patients. PCR testing is not performed on asymptomatic individuals. Those who had the disease asymptomatically are more numerous than those with symptoms. Those who had the disease asymptomatically are mostly young people, women, and those without underlying chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, or hypertension."
