What’s Tested
COVID-19 tests detect the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19. These tests are essential for diagnosing individuals with symptoms, screening asymptomatic people, tracing contacts, and monitoring the virus’s spread.
Is this test right for you? Are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, such as fever, cough, difficulty breathing, loss of taste or smell, fatigue, or muscle aches. Have had close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19. Have been in a high-risk environment or attended a gathering where COVID-19 transmission is possible. Need to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test for travel. Work in environments where COVID-19 testing is required, such as healthcare settings, schools, or workplaces with outbreaks.
There are two main types of tests: PCR tests and antigen tests. PCR tests are highly accurate and detect the virus’s genetic material, but they take longer to provide results. Antigen tests detect viral proteins and offer quicker results, though they may be less sensitive.
Molecular tests, like PCR tests, are used to detect the genetic material of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. These tests are highly accurate and are considered the gold standard for diagnosing COVID-19. The process involves collecting respiratory samples, usually from the nose or throat, and analyzing them in a laboratory to identify the presence of viral RNA. PCR tests are essential for diagnosing COVID-19, conducting contact tracing, and controlling the virus’s spread in communities.
