WHAT IS COVID -19 DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND WHEN SHOULD I SEEK HELP 

COVID-19 diagnostic test checks for a current infection by detecting genetic material of the virus in the respiratory secretions. This is taken by a nasal swab at the urgent care. You should get tested if you are experiencing symptoms or if you have been in close contact with someone  who has tested positive for  covid -19 infection. 

WHAT IS COVID-19 RAPID ANTIBODY TEST AND WHEN SHOULD  I GET IT 

A Covid-19 rapid antibody test indicates a likelihood that you have had an exposure to or were infected by the virus in the past. A negative test does not rule out a current infection and a positive test does not imply you have immunity to the virus. You can still be infected by new variants of the virus especially as your level of immunity can decrease over a period of time.
