INTRODUCTION
Diagnostic tests are important tools to meet the continuing and evolving
public health needs. Initially, a risk-based approach along with
clinical symptoms was used as a criteria for Covid testing by RT-PCR
test. Subsequently, the testing criteria were revised and Truenat test
was recommended as a screening tool to test low risk population followed
by a confirmatory RT-PCR test.
Healthcare facility may conduct screening of asymptomatic individuals as
part of a strategy to ensure the safety of healthcare workers and other
patients. We began triaging low risk obstetric population by utilising
Truenat test to screen them. The purpose of this review is to suggest
quick key points of strategies to implement in obstetric units.
