While many people with COVID-19 have mild or no symptoms, it is still possible that they could be infected and pass the disease to friends, family and loved ones. Meanwhile, others don’t know that they’ve been in close contact with someone with confirmed COVID-19.
A viral test checks samples to find out if you are currently infected with COVID-19. The time it takes to process this test is 24-48 hours.
Whether you test positive or negative for COVID-19, you should take preventive measures to protect yourself and others.
Antibody tests should not be used to diagnose a current COVID-19 infection, except in instances in which viral testing is delayed. An antibody test may not show if you have a current COVID-19 infection because it can take 1–3 weeks after infection for your body to make antibodies.
