"At the doctor’s office or hospital/health centre, you are encouraged to disclose all the information regarding your trip and each of your symptoms and their severity. If your doctor determines that your situation warrants a coronavirus test, they will administer a swab at the back of your throat, on your inner cheeks and mouth.

Your doctor will then have your sample taken to the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) in Port of Spain, where doctors will first test for coronavirus. If that test is negative, your sample is destroyed and you will be informed. If it tests positive, doctors will then do further testing to determine whether you are suffering from this particular strain of coronavirus.

A complete blood count (CBC) is a blood test that measures red blood cells, white blood cells, and blood platelets (cells that help your blood clot).A CBC can provide a quick snapshot of your overall health. If you’re not feeling well, this test can provide your doctor with important information about what could be causing you to be sick.

Many times, a doctor will order a CBC as part of a routine physical exam. The test results will provide your doctor with a count of how many blood cells there are, and also describe their shape, size, and content. The results of a CBC can reveal a number of health conditions to your doctor, from anemia and some types of cancer to vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

Other reasons your doctor may order a CBC can include:
*If you are ill and have a fever or if he or she suspects any kind of infection.
*If you are tired or are losing weight without trying.
*If you have any sign of cancer, including general weakness, bruising, or bleeding.
*If you have a condition that requires you to take daily medication, your doctor may order a CBC regularly to make sure your blood counts remain consistent.
