This test will detect if you are actively infected with the COVID-19 virus. Tests are administered via a nasal swab, and results are typically next day*. PCR tests are more accurate and often required if you are returning-to-work or traveling to certain places. In general there is a higher probability of false results from the home tests and rapid tests.
* Tests performed Sunday – Thursday will be resulted next-day (sometimes same-day) and Friday – Saturday tests will be resulted on the following Monday.
