Daniel Mark Wilkerson - What Tests Are Available For COVID-19?

Testing availability may differ depending on where you live. Check your local health department to see what locations near you are doing testing.

This may include hospitals, clinics, doctors’ offices, pharmacies, and free-standing locations. Some of these will require you to physically go inside. Others offer drive-thru tests and allow you to stay in your car to prevent the possible spread of COVID-19.

Depending on the location, someone may approach your car to collect a sample, or they may ask you to collect it yourself. Samples for COVID19 viral tests are collected through nasal swabs.

Depending on where you get your test, you may get your results the same day or you may have to wait a few days. Your results can be delayed if a large number of tests in your area are being performed. It’s also important to remember that even if you get a negative test, you may still need to self-isolate if you have been exposed to COVID-19. This is because it can take time after exposure for your sample to show a COVID-19 infection.

Two types of tests for COVID-19 are currently available:• Diagnostic tests • Antibody tests

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) made these tests available under an emergency use authorization. This means that they can be used during a public health emergency. They have not been fully reviewed and approved by the FDA. At this time, we have limited information on how accurate COVID-19 tests are. It is possible for them to show positive results that are wrong (called a false positive).

They can also show negative results that are wrong (called a false negative). Even if your test result is negative, it’s important to keep following your family doctor’s recommendations to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
