A member asked:
As a healthcare professional, i am wondering if one can have both the flu and the novel coronavirus? if someone tested positive for flu, do they not test coronavirus too?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: The laboratory will test for both, if requested by the doctor. In fact there is a panel of 20+ organisms that can be tested from the same sample. Wish you good health!
