Molecular PCR Test
Used at most hospitals now, this test is used to detect SARS COV2 genetic material in the nose. It is used to detect a current infection, with or without symptoms, and viral presence after a direct exposure. Test is also the accepted one for travel. Test results available in about an hour. ($120)
Rapid Antigen Test
The rapid antigen test is most accurate when performed during the first 5 days of symptoms. The test takes around 15 minutes to result. This test is NOT ideal for screening purposes, testing after an exposure when no symptoms are present, or testing for return to work clearance after a positive test. ($80)
