Rapid Antigen Test

Service Description

The rapid test is a qualitative test that detects the IgM/IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 within 15 minutes, the virus that causes COVID-19. IgM antibodies are the first type of antibody produced by the immune system. The IgM antibody is detected if you have an active infection or have recently been exposed to the virus. IgG antibodies can usually be detected 10 days from suspected infection or post symptom onset. The IgG antibodies will remain in the blood after an infection has passed. Coronavirus (COVID-19) is an illness caused by a virus that is transmitted from person to person. Symptoms can range from mild (or no symptoms) to severe illness. One can be infected from respiratory droplets when an infected person sneezes or coughs. Other ways that one can be infected is by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it, and then touching their mouth, nose, or eyes. **IF YOU ARE TRAVELING, PLEASE CHECK TO ENSURE THIS IS THE PROPER TEST **
