You have consented to a diagnostic test for SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) collected by COVID Diagnostics. If submitting a saliva sample for PCR testing, your sample will be sent to a laboratory for testing, and that laboratory will provide you with the results. You should expect results within approximately 72 hours. If you are submitting a nasal sample for rapid antigen testing, or a fingerprick blood specimen for rapid antibody testing, your results will be available within 2 hours. When your results are available you will receive an email via the email address we have on file. Please verify this email address is correct. You will then be able to access your tests results directly through the patient portal.
Please refer to our web page for information about the individual tests and what the results mean. Please keep in mind that SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) diagnostic tests are not perfect. No test is. If they were perfect, a positive test would mean that someone carries the virus and a negative test means that they do not. There is a small percentage of tests that could be falsely positive or falsely negative. Thus, we ask that you consider risk factors and individual scenarios and not completely rely on the test results to choose your behavior. COVID DIAGNOSTICS WILL NOT OFFER ANY MEDICAL CARE OR TREATMENT RELATED TO COVID-19. IN THE EVENT YOUR TEST RESULT IS POSITIVE AND/OR YOU EXPERIENCE SYMPTOMS OF COVID-19, YOU SHOULD SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION FROM AN EMERGENCY ROOM OR YOUR HEALTH CARE PROVIDER IMMEDIATELY.
