What Is The Test Used To Diagnose Someone With The Coronavirus?

The protocol for coronavirus testing is to provide a evaluation of a patient’s symptoms, and then, if necessary, to proceed with a test either in-person or at-curbside. There are two tests for coronavirus: the antibody test and the viral test. The antibody test is to determine whether a patient previously has the virus, and this helps researchers track the spread of the virus. With the viral test, you can be tested to determine whether you currently have the virus. This test is called the nasal pharyngeal swab. In this test, a swab (like a Q-tip) is inserted into the patient’s nose, a sample is collected, and then the sample is tested for the virus.

How Long Does It Take For Coronavirus Symptoms To Become Apparent?

The common symptoms are fever, tiredness, and a dry cough, and the more serious symptoms can be shortness of breath/difficulty breathing, chest pain/pressure, and loss of speech/movement. It can take anywhere from 2 to 14 days for these symptoms to become apparent. However, someone with the virus might not actually show any symptoms at all. Because of this, even if you and your family seem to be symptom-free, it’s still important to limit and control your interactions, take the necessary precautions, and follow the guidance and recommendations of your local health officials.

If you do notice the symptoms of coronavirus in yourself or a loved one, then it’s important to stay home but also call a medical provider like ours. So long as the symptoms are non-life-threatening, AFC Urgent Care Clairemont can help by providing testing. Please understand that a clinic like ours is limited in our access to testing kits, so we must ensure these kits are available to patients who need them like hospitalized patients, healthcare workers, and patients with serious symptoms.
