Types of On-Site COVID-19 Tests We Offer to Businesses

Medella Urgent Care includes the same coronavirus testing options in our mobile health care services as we provide at our nearby walk-in clinic in Vintage Park. Here’s a brief description of the on-site COVID-19 testing options available for businesses:

Polymerase Chain Reaction Testing (PCR)

This is a nasal swab test that’s designed to detect an active coronavirus infection, which means it’s appropriate for employees who have COVID-19 symptoms or have been in close contact with someone who tested positive for the disease. Considered by many experts to be the gold standard in COVID-19 testing, the PCR test has a high accuracy rate but a longer turnaround time than the rapid COVID-19 test. Results are typically available within one to three days.

Rapid Antigen Testing

This test also uses nasal swab sampling to identify an active COVID-19 infection. It is designed to detect proteins known as antigens that the body generates in response to the virus that causes COVID-19. The primary advantage of this test is its fast turnaround time, with results usually available within minutes.

Antibody Testing

This test requires a small blood sample and is appropriate for employees who think they may have had a prior COVID-19 infection and recovered. A positive result may indicate some level of protection against reinfection.
