Covid Testing
Stay Safe and Get Tested
​
COVID-19 testing is a crucial part of controlling the spread of the virus and keeping yourself, your loved ones, and your community safe. Testing allows individuals to know their status, and those who test positive can take the necessary steps to protect others.
​
Why Should You Get Tested?
​
-
Know your status: Even if you're not showing symptoms, you could still be infected and spread the virus to others.
-
Help prevent outbreaks: Regular testing helps to identify potential cases early, reducing the risk of community transmission.
-
Peace of mind: Knowing your test results can help you make informed decisions about your health and interactions with others.
​
Types of COVID-19 Tests
​
We have two different types of tests available, depending on your needs:
​
-
PCR Tests (Polymerase Chain Reaction): This is a molecular test that detects the virus's genetic material. It is considered the "gold standard" due to its high accuracy.​
-
​Sofia - SARS Antigen Tests: These tests detect proteins on the surface of the virus and are typically faster than PCR tests, though slightly less accurate.
​
Understanding Your Results
​
-
Negative Test: A negative result means that no viral material was found in your sample at the time of testing. However, if you were exposed to the virus recently, it may not show up yet.
-
Positive Test: A positive result means that viral material was detected, and you should follow quarantine and isolation guidelines to protect others.
