PCR is more sensitive as compared to RTK. PCR offers about 95-96% sensitivity and RTK is about 88-90% sensitivity. Does travelling from West Malaysia to East Malaysia require a COVID-19 swab test? Yes. Travelling to Sawarak you require a PCR. Starting from 21/05/21 anyone travelling to Sabah you can only enter Sabah with a PCR test. Is there any difference when some clinics take swabs from only one nostril as compared to taking samples from both nostril and mouth? Yes. It is not recommended to take swabs from only one nostril as the swab is able to pick up lesser sampling as compared to taking swabs from both nostrils and mouth. Swabbing both nostrils and mouth is better and helps to make the test more accurate and sensitive. Is it possible to have an RTK test be negative for COVID-19 but positive for COVID-19 in a PCR test? Yes. A RTK test may end up negative but PCR can be positive because PCR more sensitive than RTK. What is the advantage of PCR versus RTK? PCR is more sensitive and it can read a CT-level (Cyclic threshold level) whereas the RTK is less sensitive and cannot read a CT-level. What is the use of the CT level (Cyclic threshold level)? CT-level (Cyclic threshold level) is a number of processes used to detect the COVID-19 virus. This means that a high CT level of more than 30 indicates that more processes were run multiple times in order to detect the virus. In short, the CT level of more than 30 processes shows that the viral level in the nasal and mouth cavity is low. This means that it is not easily infective as compared to a low CT level of less than 20.
