There are 2 categories of COVID-19 tests that will help determine your status:
- Antibody tests – once you’ve been infected with the virus, antibodies are produced by your immune system. These antibodies remain in your blood up to several weeks or longer. Antibody tests are not a way to diagnose a current infection. The test involves drawing a blood from a vein in your arm or a finger prick.
- Diagnostic tests – also known as viral tests, these tests can determine if you have an active infection. The results can help you decide if you want to isolate yourself from others and pursue proper medical treatment. In most cases, the samples obtained are taken from your nose with a swab. However, samples can also be collected from your saliva or throat.
The testing services provided by All Health Medical Centre will help to determine if you have the virus or if it’s a cold, the flu, or some other illness. Furthermore, we can administer testing in the privacy of your home or office, whichever is more comfortable and convenient for you.
