COVID-19 PCR Test

The COVID-19 PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) test analyzes a sample to see if it contains genetic material from the COVID-19 virus. Even if there is a small trace of the virus, a PCR test will detect it.

PCR Test results can be used for:

• Travel

• Weekly employment testing

• If you are symptomatic

• Exposure to COVID-19

Who is this test for?

This test is for any person that has symptoms of COVID-19 and wants to be tested for the virus, or anyone who needs PCR COVID-19 test results for their employer, for travel, for school, or a number of other reasons.

Process and Results

• The COVID-19 PCR test is done with a simple nasal swab.

• Results will be sent to the email you provide to us at the testing site 24-72 hours after our lab receiving your sample.
