What Is A Rapid RT-PCR Test?
Molecular COVID-19 tests are designed to detect
an active infection with SARS-CoV-2, the
coronavirus that causes COVID-19. The most
well-known molecular test uses a laboratory
method known as RT-PCR. PCR and molecular tests
work by looking for the viruss genetic material
in your test sample, which is usually taken by
swabbing your nose or throat. Molecular tests
analyzed by a laboratory are generally
considered to be the most accurate method of
diagnosing COVID-19.

When Should You Get A PCR or Molecular Test
Done?
-Close contact with someone who has been
diagnosed with COVID-19. -Situations at high risk
of viral transmissions. -Live or work in an
environment where there is an elevated risk of
the viral spread of COVID-19. -Going to have a
medical procedure that generates tiny air
particles known as aerosols. -Starting to take a
medication that affects your immune
system. -Required to provide a negative test
result by your employer, in order to travel, etc

Can You Take The Test At Home?
-At-home self-collection tests In these tests,
you take a swab of your nose or throat or
collect a saliva sample and send that sample by
mail to a laboratory. Results are normally
available within a few days after your sample is
received by the lab. -At-home self-tests These
tests also involve taking your own test sample,
but that sample is then analyzed at home using a
device that is included in your test kit. These
tests often provide results within 30 minutes.

What Is The Accuracy Of Test Results?

• While no test is 100 accurate, the PCR and other
  molecular tests are widely considered to be the
  most reliable method of diagnosing COVID-19.
• Because the test can detect even very small
  amounts of the genetic material of SARS-CoV-2, it
  is rare for the test to come back positive if a
  person is not infected or has not recently been
  infected. A negative test result is usually
  accurate.
