Currently, the most common test being used to detect the presence of COVID-19 is the PCR test. These tests are used to detect the genetic information of the virus, which is known as the RNA. This RNA will only be present in someone if they are experiencing an active infection. PCR tests are most effective because they are used to directly detect the presence of an antigen, instead of searching for the presence of antibodies.
Viral RNA will be present in the body before symptoms begin to show or antibodies have the RNA chance to form. This gives individuals the ability to detect the virus early on, making it the most accurate and effective COVID-19 test available.
Accessible PCR testing in our communities is important because it helps us to identify who is infected with this highly contagious virus. The results come back within 72 hours, which gives the individual the opportunity to then begin isolating and contacting everyone they have been in contact with the warning that they should begin to limit their interaction as well in order to slow the spread of exposure. When we are able to break the chain of transmission, we can slow the spread of this virus, allowing our hospitals and healthcare workers enough time, space, and supplies, to provide the best care for COVID patients that develop complications from this illness. If you believe you have been exposed to COVID-19 or are showing symptoms of this virus, limit your interaction immediately and get tested.
