About COVID-19 Testing

COVID-19 testing is critical to measure the spread of this disease within our community and assist our regional response efforts.

Types of Testing

COVID-19 tests can detect either SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) or antibodies that your body makes after getting COVID-19 or after getting vaccinated.

• Viral Tests: Tests for SARS-CoV-2 tell you if you have an infection at the time of the test.
• Antibody Tests: Tests for antibodies may tell you if you have had a past infection with the virus that causes COVID-19. Your body creates antibodies after getting infected with SARS-CoV-2 or after getting vaccinated against COVID-19.

Test Results

Whether you test positive or negative for COVID-19, no matter the type of test, please continue to take preventive measures to protect yourself and others.

• If you test positive for COVID-19: Stay home and follow this isolation guidance.
• If you test negative for COVID-19: You did not have COVID-19 at the time of testing. This result does not mean that you are immune from COVID-19 in the future.
