You developed symptoms of COVID-19.
You were in close contact (within 6 feet for 15 minutes or more) with a person who has COVID-19.
You have been contacted and referred for testing by a healthcare provider, or your local or state health department.
If you are traveling to another country, you may also need to have proof of a negative COVID-19 test. If you have planned surgery or being admitted to hospital, you may also require a test.

All types of tests use nasal swabs, which look like a long Q-tip. The actual test takes less than a minute. We insert the nasal swab a few inches up each nostril and swirl it around for 10-15 seconds. You may experience a tickling sensation while the swab is in your nose, and after it is removed, you might sneeze or have runny eyes for a moment or two. The swab is sent to the lab for testing.
Antigen tests detect proteins given off by the virus during the peak of the infection cycle, but are not as sensitive as molecular PCR tests. You may get a negative result with antigen testing if you are infected but not near the peak of your infection cycle. This means that there is a higher chance of false negatives than with many molecular tests.
It can take almost a week after exposure to COVID-19 to register a positive test result. Evidence suggests that testing tends to be less accurate within three days of exposure, and the best time to get tested is five to seven days after you were exposed. Tests are even more accurate when patients are exhibiting symptoms.
COVID-19’s incubation period lasts up to 14 days. If you have the virus, it takes time to build up in your system. Testing too close to an exposure could result in samples that don’t contain enough of the virus’ genetic material to register as a positive. A COVID-19 test is limited in that it represents only a snapshot in time.
Test results reflect the state of illness at the time when you are tested. A negative PCR test does not mean that an individual is free of infection, but rather only that, at that particular moment, the sample did not contain viral levels at a high enough concentration to be measured as a positive.
If you are in the early stages of infection, it’s possible the test will not detect the virus and come back negative.
When you’re sick or injured you shouldn’t have to wait weeks to see a doctor, that’s why we offer same-day appoinments so you can get care when you need it most.
