  1. When Should I Get a COVID-19 Antigen Test?

  2. What is a Rapid COVID-19 Antigen Test? Antigen tests are a method of detecting an active infection with SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes the illness COVID-19. These tests look for antigens, which are protein markers found on the outside of a SARS-CoV-2 virus.

  3. What Is The Purpose Of An Antigen Test? -Diagnosis is testing once a person has shown symptoms of a disease or has a known exposure to a disease. An antigen test can be used for diagnosis in people who have symptoms consistent with COVID-19. -Screening is looking for a disease in people who don’t have any signs or symptoms. Because antigen tests can be performed rapidly and at a relatively low cost, they may be used in large screening programs that involve repeatedly testing people to help prevent the spread of Covid.

  4. What Does The Test Measure? COVID-19 antigen tests evaluate whether there are indications of infection with COVID-19. They check for specific proteins on the outside surface of the virus called antigens in a test sample taken from the nostril or the area at the back of the nose. The presence of these antigens is a sign of an active infection.

  5. When Should You Get An Antigen Test? -Been in close contact with someone who has COVID-19 -Attended large social gatherings or otherwise been in places at high risk for virus transmission -Live or work in places where many people live together. -When you need proof of a negative test in order to travel, work, or engage in other activities.
