Things To Know When Preparing For A Rapid Antigen Test

 

Rapid Antigen Test

With rapid antigen testing becoming very common when it comes to detecting the coronavirus disease, you may be wondering if it is something that you can also make use of.  Rapid Antigen testing (which is often referred to as a rapid test) detects protein fragments specific to the COVID-19 virus. It is intended to be used by asymptomatic individuals for screening purposes. Unlike the in-clinic and in-home PCR testing options that offer same or next-day results, rapid Antigen test results are reported much sooner - within just 15 to 30 minutes.

So, who is eligible to take the test? If in the last fourteen days you have had no COVID-19 symptoms, zero close contact with someone who has, and have not travelled outside of the country, you can book a rapid antigen test for travel at a medical facility near you. If you are experiencing any coronavirus symptoms, visit a COVID-19 assessment centre near you. If you would like to book a rapid antigen test on the same day as another appointment at a medical facility, make sure that you book your test 30 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment.

Another thing you need to do know when preparing to get a rapid antigen test is how much it costs and what can be expected. Rapid Antigen tests can be purchased for about $78. When you visit a medical facility to get tested, you will need to wear a face mask that covers both your nose and mouth, you will be asked to enter the designated testing room and sanitize your hands. A nurse at the facility will ask you to identify yourself and will confirm your name, date of birth, and so on. Additional health screening questions that you will be asked about include your travel history, confirmed case contacts, symptoms as well as health status.
