COVID-19 Viral Testing
Slow The Spread With Viral Testing
If you think you’ve been infected with COVID-19 or have recently come in contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, then viral testing can help you make an informed decision about returning to work or school, traveling, or self-isolating to help slow the spread.
The Rapid (Antigen) and Standard (PCR) viral tests are a nasal/throat swab that are designed to identify current infections of the COVID-19 virus.
Rapid (Antigen) Viral Testing
The Rapid (Antigen) viral test uses a nasal/throat swab to detect a current infection of COVID-19 in your body. Best used 5 days after exposure, or sooner, if symptomatic, this test can help you determine if you need any further testing before returning to work, or if you should self-isolate.
