Common Questions About COVID-19 Testing

  • Common symptoms of COVID-19 can range from mild to severe and may include fever, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, body aches, headache, sore throat, congestion, and loss of taste or smell. Some people may also experience nausea or diarrhea. Symptoms typically appear 2–14 days after exposure.

    • Rapid Antigen Tests Get results in as little as 15 minutes. Ideal for quick screenings, travel, or event access.

    • PCR Testing Gold-standard molecular testing with high accuracy. Results typically available within 24–48 hours.

    • Symptom-Based Testing If you're experiencing cough, fever, shortness of breath, or other symptoms, we’ll guide you through the appropriate testing and care options.

    • Testing for Travel, Work, or Events Need proof of a negative COVID-19 test? We offer documentation suitable for travel, return-to-work, or large gatherings.

  • You should get tested if you have symptoms, have been exposed to someone with COVID-19, or need testing for travel, work, or medical procedures.

  • Rapid tests can provide results within minutes, while PCR test results are usually available within 24–72 hours, depending on the lab.

  • If you test positive, follow current health guidelines, which may include isolating, monitoring symptoms, and contacting your healthcare provider for next steps—especially if you are at higher risk for complications.
