COVID-19 Testing Frequently Asked Questions

What are the primary symptoms of COVID-19?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), people with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms reported – ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. People with these symptoms may have COVID-19:

Cough
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Fever
Chills
Muscle pain
Sore throat
New loss of taste or smell
This list is not all possible symptoms. Other less common symptoms have been reported, including gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.

What should I do if I'm experiencing severe symptoms?
If you or a family member are experiencing severe symptoms, please call your doctor. If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, please call 911.

Is the test invasive?
We use a nasal swab that must be inserted only about 2 cm into the nostril, until some resistance is met. You will collect your nasal sample yourself under the supervision of a healthcare professional. For antibody testing, we will be drawing a small blood sample following a finger prick.

Is the test accurate?
A PCR test is typically highly accurate and usually does not need to be repeated.  

For an antigen test, positive results are usually highly accurate but a negative test may need to be confirmed with a PCR test.

Antibody tests should not be used to determine active infection and the test outcome relies heavily on when a person is tested following illness. We advise waiting at least 2 weeks following the start of symptoms or positive antigen or PCR test to check for antibodies.
