  2. Ordering a rapid antigen test is a good way to get tested for Covid-19 fast. A rapid test is faster compared to a PCR, which is why a lot of people who plan to travel across international borders prefer using it. Coronavirus is a respiratory disease that can cause severe illness, especially in people who have preexisting health conditions such as obesity, diabetes or high blood pressure. Rapid antigen tests are used to help diagnose COVID-19 by searching for certain molecules found on the surface of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. These tests can provide results in as little as 15 minutes and don’t require lab analysis. Even though a rapid antigen test provides quick results, it is not as accurate as a PCR test that is analyzed in a lab. These tests often provide results within minutes and do not need to be analyzed in a laboratory by a specialist. Many of the rapid tests are antigen tests, and sometimes the two terms are used interchangeably. But the CDC stopped using the term “rapid”

  3. to describe antigen tests, because the FDA has also approved laboratory-based antigen tests. Rapid antigen tests are also known as point-of-care tests, and they can be performed at home with a home COVID-19 test, at a doctor’s office, school clinics, pharmacies, long-term care facilities, drive-through testing sites and airports. During the test, you or a medical professional will insert a cotton swab into your nose, throat, or both in order to collect mucus and cells. The collected sample will then be applied to a strip that changes color if you test positive for COVID-19. While the test provides quick results, it is not as accurate as a laboratory test because it requires more of the virus in your sample to report a positive result.
