What Is Rapid Testing?

Rapid testing has been encouraged in order to further halt the spread of the coronavirus. With rapid testing, medical professionals can provide patients with results within the same day of testing, as opposed to two weeks. Rapid testing is designed to provide results within three hours, possibly less than an hour, but the distribution of these test kits has been limited and minimal. Rapid diagnostic tests are slowly becoming more and more authorized.

What is Antibody Testing?

The FDA highly recommends medical professionals to utilize antibody (serological) testing with the intent to detect antibodies to COVID-19 and to identify individuals who have possibly been exposed to the virus. In addition to rapid diagnostic testing, antibody testing is also limited and should be used sparingly. These tests are primarily to be used if someone was or is at high risk of contracting or spreading the virus. 

How to Schedule an Appointment

Our clinic is taking all precautions when assisting and attending to patients. We are actively practicing social distancing within our clinic that way the risk of spread is decreased. You contact our clinic to learn more about making an appointment and how you will be helped. Patients are highly recommended to wear protective clothing to prevent exposure and spread. 

How Long Will it Take to Get Results?

It takes approximately twenty-four hours for your test to be sent to a lab and processed. Results are not expected to get back to you until two days later, often two weeks after. Modified tests such as rapid diagnostic testing and antibody testing are designed to provide results even faster. The CDC states that you should only have testing done if you are experiencing symptoms.
