Results can take up to 2-3 days to arrive.Īntibody testing looks for a past infection and may not reveal if you have an active COVID-19 infection because antibodies can take up to three weeks to form in your body. The majority of tests, on the other hand, are collected at the clinic on-site and then submitted to off-site labs for processing.

Some tests are processed out on-site and can provide results in as little as 30 minutes. Viral COVID testing can be done in a few different ways, the most common being nose swabs, but saliva tests are becoming more popular. There are two types of coronavirus tests (COVID-19 tests) available, those that can test for a current infection (viral test) and those that can test for a past infection (antibody test). I want you to remain in business and keep everyone as safe as possible. I do appreciate your business and your care that I was provided. I am a nurse so I do understand infection control. I was wearing a mask and I used hand sanitizer at every opportunity, but there is still better practice in infection control that should have been done to protect the workers and patients. If I was positive, I would have been contaminating many areas. One to gather information such as health history and vital signs then another one to be assessed and swabbed for Covid. I also went into two different rooms once I was called back. The person behind the desk was touching multiple clipboards and Id’s and insurance cards from multiple people and not cleaning hands in between. I didn’t see any wiping off the clipboards or pens they handed out.

Clipboards with several copies of forms to be filled out were on it and handed to me. The person at the desk had their mask below their nose. I was disappointed in their infection control in the front waiting area.
