It is recommended you receive a COVID-19 test if you are an individual that is noticing mild symptoms or severe symptoms, or if you have been around others who have tested positive recently, and you are not showing signs meaning you may be asymptomatic.   Depending on the test that is available at the time of your appointment, at The Wellness NPs, we offer three different types of COVID-19 testing including:   Rapid COVID-19 Testing A rapid antigen test for COVID-19 looks for proteins that are caused by the COVID-19 virus. This easy and simple test is completed within minutes and produces results quite fast depending on the number of patients ahead of you.   PCR Testing PCR stands for a polymerase chain reaction. This specific test detects genetic matter from the specific organisms that are within the body, including the virus.   Antibody Testing Antibody tests detect the antibodies that are found within the blood that is found to cause COVID-19 infection.   Each test will take a different amount of time to provide results; however, the PCR test is usually showing turnaround results from the lab within 2 to 4 business days; and the Rapid COVID-19 test turnaround period could be anywhere from 4 hours to 24 hours after.
