The Government of Karnataka has now gone live with an online service that allows the people of the state to check their coronavirus test result by just entering the specimen referral form (SRF) ID.
"Now you can know your Covid test result by feeding SRF ID of your Covid test in the following portal," said a state Covid War Room official.
Here's the link of the portal:
The portal is: https://www.covidwar.karnataka.gov.in/service1
The Karnataka Covid War Room headed by senior IAS officer Munish Moudgil has developed the portal for easier access to test results.
Now, with this development, people who gave their samples need not physically go to the laboratory or hospital to confirm their result as they can easily access it from their home.
In the event of a positive result, the health department advised people not to panic and assured them that the government itself will get in touch with them.
"If you are positive, don't panic. Stay calm and isolate yourself at your home. Government of Karnataka will automatically get in touch with you on your mobile number," he said.
Likewise, for Covid Medical helpline, patients have been advised to contact 'Apthamitra' helpline at 14410 and for emergency 108.
