The different types of COVID-19 tests

The rapid PCR tests – ID Now in clinic

The rapid PCR test will detect a current Covid infection via nasal swab. It’s designed to detect genetic material belonging to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. PCR test results can be processed onsite and are available the same day, which is perfect if you need to travel or get tested quickly.

The RT-PCR test – Lab tested only

The RT-PCR test is sometimes referred to as a ‘molecular’ test. Like the rapid PCR, this test is administered via nasal swab; however, it may also be a saliva or throat swab. This test is considered the gold standard of Covid tests and is highly accurate. The sample from this test must be sent to a lab for processing, and results are typically available within three business days
