Brief Answer:
Yes, you may...

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Well, you may get done with the RT-PCR now (2 samples, one from deep nasal and one from oropharyngeal)...

In the interim, avoid going to any crowded places...strictly maintain social distancing, frequent handwashing, face mask while going out and all other universal precautions applicable nowadays...

Take Care
