A member asked:
Can a complete blood count detect the coronavirus infection and how is would it be determined?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: A complete blood count (CBC) is used to detect a wide range of disorders, including anemia, infection and leukemia. This test measures several components of your blood: Red blood cells (carry oxygen) White blood cells (fight infection) Hemoglobin (oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells) Hematocrit (proportion of red blood cells to plasma) Platelets (blood clotting) None of them measures Covid

Agree with Dr. K: CBC is not a diagnostic test for corona virus. For that you need either a test for the virus or the antibody to the virus. Wish you good health!
