The COVID-19 RT-PCR test is a real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction test for the qualitative detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2 in upper and lower respiratory specimens.
The main difference between RT-PCR and rapid PCR is the type of molecule that is being amplified. RT-PCR amplifies the RNA, whereas rapid PCR amplifies the DNA
