• The precision of the PCR test?

Is the PCR test that is being used to screen for Covid-19 able to distinguish between the common cold, the common flu, and Covid-19? Or do all three simple come back as positive for Covid-19 with no distinction?

The COVID-19 PCR test is specific for it. So it would only tell you if you had COVID-19 or not.
