Two kinds of tests are available for coronavirus (COVID-19): virus tests [antigen tests, polymerase chain reaction (PCR)] and antibody tests.

  • Virus tests to check if you have a current infection.

It checks for the presence of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes coronavirus, in your respiratory system. In most cases, results from point-of-care tests may be available at the testing site in less than an hour and others must be sent to a laboratory for analysis that can take a few days.

  • Antibody tests to check if you had a past infection.

It may not show if you have a current coronavirus infection because it can take 1–3 weeks after infection for your body to make antibodies. In most cases, results must be taken from blood samples and sent to a lab for analysis.

*No test is ever perfect. All tests occasionally result in false positive or false negative results. Sometimes the results are not definitive. For this and other reasons, results should always be reviewed by healthcare professionals.
