New York, IAS. A sensational information has come out about the corona virus which has caused havoc all over the world.
Shocking thing has come to light about the result of Corona investigation. A study has claimed that the results of the test can change depending on the day and night. A study by Vanderbilt University Medical Center in the US states that the virus behaves differently depending on the time and the body clock of the person.
Most accurate result in the afternoon
It has been said in the study that if someone has given a sample in the afternoon as compared to the night, then the chances of getting accurate information about the infection are double, that is, the possibility of false negative is reduced by testing in the afternoon. False negative is the condition in which even after being infected, the test report comes negative.
Viruses work according to body clock
It has been found that the false negative is dangerous for the patient and the people around him because if the person is not found infected, the person does not take necessary precautions and the risk of spreading the infection to other people increases. In the past, it has been seen in some studies that many viruses and bacteria work according to the body clock (natural sleep-wake cycle) of a person.
body works differently
Researchers say that due to the body clock during the day, a person’s immune system is working more actively. During this time, the speed of release of virus particles by infected cells into the blood and saliva remains fast. This process is called virus shedding. The faster shedding increases the chances of getting the correct result in the test.
need to change the way of testing
The results of the study show that there is a need to adopt a new method of testing and treatment of corona virus. Due to the high virus shedding in the afternoon, this time is also more vulnerable to the spread of the virus. Therefore, it is necessary that while adopting the new method of testing, extra care should also be taken of safety.
