Should I Get Tested For COVID-19?

If you’re showing symptoms of COVID-19 or have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive, it might be time to get tested – even if you’re fully vaccinated.

People who are traveling soon may need proof of a negative test prior to their trip. Employers, schools, or sports teams may also require a negative test to resume normal in-person activity.

If you need help deciding whether you need a coronavirus test or what kind of test you should take, call BraVa Health. We will be glad to help you decide on the best course of action.

Which COVID-19 Test Types Are Available?

Rapid Antigen Test

This test is done with a nasal swab and looks for protein fragments (antigens) from the virus. Rapid Antigen tests are most accurate in people with symptoms of an active COVID-19 infection. Results are usually available in as little as 15 minutes.

Rapid PCR Test

PCR tests (also called molecular or viral RNA tests) are also completed with a nasal swab. This type of test looks for genetic material that comes only from the virus. PCR tests are very accurate in determining infection status. They can detect traces of the virus within days of being infected, even when there are no symptoms. The turnaround time for each Rapid PCR test is 30 minutes per test.

PCR Test

Traditional PCR testing involves collecting a sample and sending it to a lab for analysis. This type of test is extremely accurate, with fewer false negatives than antigen tests. False positives from lab PCR tests are virtually nonexistent. Turnaround is generally 2-3 days, but results can be available in as little as 24 hours.
