Deciding On What COVID-19 Tests You Should Order:
PCR Nasal Swab Test - Determines if you currently have a COVID-19 infection:
The Nasal Swab test is for those who believe they may be currently infected with COVID-19 because they are experiencing symptoms or have been exposed to someone confirmed to have COVID-19. It also helps identify asymptomatic carriers or those who carry the virus but do not exhibit any symptoms. The test is performed using a nasal swab and results are returned within 48-72 hours.
IgG Antibody Serology Test (Blood) - Determines if you have ever had a COVID-19 infection:
The Antibody test is for those who don’t currently feel sick but want to find out if they have previously been infected and recovered from COVID-19. The test is performed using a blood draw and results are returned within 48-72 hours.
