COVID Testing Offered
The Rapid Antigen test detects a protein coating the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and is collected through a nasal swab. The swab is placed into a solution to identify the virus, and. results are produced in as little as fifteen minutes.
*While the antigen test is much quicker, it is not as accurate as a PCR test, especially in the early stages of Covid-19.
The nose swab PCR test for COVID-19 is an accurate and reliable test for diagnosing COVID-19. Considered the gold standard, this test detects genetic material from the virus to determine if the virus is present at the time of the test. The test can also detect fragments of the virus even after you are no longer infected.
*PCR tests are highly accurate and do not often need to be repeated.
