How Do I Get Tested for COVID-19?

There are several ways to test for the Coronavirus. Quality Care ER is offering Rapid Antigen, PCR, and Antibody testing. Contact us today to learn more about our COVID-19 testing services.

COVID-19 Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. People with these symptoms may have COVID-19:

• Fever or chills
• Cough
• Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
• Fatigue
• Muscle or body aches
• Headache
• New loss of taste or smell
• Sore throat
• Congestion or runny nose
• Nausea or vomiting
• Diarrhea

Look for emergency warning signs for COVID-19. If someone is showing any of these signs, seek emergency medical care immediately:

• Trouble breathing
• Persistent pain or pressure in the chest
• New confusion
• Inability to wake or stay awake
• Pale, gray, or blue-colored skin, lips, or nail beds, depending on skin tone

Rapid Antigen Testing

The Rapid Antigen tests look for evidence of actual Coronavirus in your body at the time of testing:

• It is done with a nasal/pharyngeal cotton swab.
• It is sent to our in-house lab for testing and results come back in 15 minutes*

*Due to high volume, result times may vary.

PCR Testing

PCR tests look for evidence of actual Coronavirus in your body now. You may or may not be exhibiting symptoms:

• It is done with a nasal/pharyngeal cotton swab.
• It is sent to a lab for testing and results come back in 24-48 hours.

PCR tests can help diagnose active COVID-19 but generally cannot tell if someone has had the Coronavirus and has since recovered.

Antibody Testing

These tests detect antibodies that are produced by your body to help fight infections and usually remain in the blood for some period of time. The antibodies typically help you fight that infection again in the event you are re-exposed. These antibodies should be present in anyone who has been exposed to Coronavirus in the past. You could have recovered from COVID-19 already or you may have been exposed to Coronavirus and had no symptoms.

• The test is done with a finger stick.
• Results are back during your visit (2-15 minutes)
