Antigen tests
Rapid antigen testing is a faster way to detect if you have a current COVID-19 infection. Results are typically ready in just 15 to 30 minutes.
A positive antigen test result means a person currently has COVID-19.
Antigen tests are not as sensitive as molecular tests, no matter where they are performed (such as home, clinic, pharmacy). This means that you could have a negative test result even if you are infected with COVID-19.

Discuss with your doctor
Regardless of your test result, you should discuss your results with your doctor and continue to follow any safety precautions recommended by public health experts. This can help you and your community better manage the risks and benefits of resuming daily activities.

A sample is collected through a nasal or throat swab and mixed with a solution. The solution is then placed onto an indicator device that may detect the presence of the virus that causes COVID-19.
Rapid antigen testing may be helpful if you do not have symptoms of COVID-19 and would like quick results to meet a testing requirement for an event or travel.
Typically 15-30 minutes from sample collection
If you have symptoms, test immediately.
If you were exposed to COVID-19 and do not have symptoms, wait at least 5 full days after your exposure before testing..
