CO-RADS classification is a standardized CT chest reporting system for patients with suspected COVID-19 infection.
There are seven classes of CO-RADS. CO-RADS 0 to 6 follow an increasing risk for COVID-19, from very low risk to proven infection by a positive RT-PCR assay.
The CO-RADS 6 category indicated proven COVID-19 after a positive RT-PCR for the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
This classification is not a disease severity classification.

Corads 6 is grading in ct scan..
We find ground glass opacities in the lungs
RT pcr is also tested positive upto 95%.
He needs be monitored for his oxygen levels.
If the oxygen saturation levels falls below 94%,
He should be provided with O2.
He should start the covid 19ncourse immediately.
