Hafiz Muhammad Asif; Hafiz Abdul Sattar Hashmi

Early detection for Covid-19 in symptomatic cases showed its sensitivity and could isolate Covid-19 case at an early stage. Calculation chart is given name of Hashmi-Asif Chart for early detection of Covid-19, given in Chart.1. Formula contains maximum of 28(10+18) scores out of which cumulative scoring >16/28 should be considered at high risk to be diagnosed with Covid-19, isolated immediately and should be evaluated by standard diagnostic procedure RT-PCR for SARS-Cov-2. The formula provides an easy approach to screen the suspects and carriers of Covid-19 earlier than previously being diagnosed. Hashmi-Asif covid-19 formula expedites health care providers in the developing countries lacking appropriate health facilities to access diagnosis of Covid-19. Hashmi-Asif Covid-19 formula based on the most common early presentations of the Covid-19. Separate calculation of scoring for sign and symptoms and blood biomarkers makes sensitivity for evaluating Covid-19. By using formula Covid-19 can be diagnosed approximately 3 days earlier than usual. It will provide an ample time to opt .
