What Are The Types Of Rapid Tests?
Diagnostic Tests Molecular and antigen tests
are types of diagnostic tests that can detect if
you have an active COVID-19 infection. Samples
for diagnostic tests are typically collected
with a nasal or throat swab, or saliva collected
by spitting into a tube. Antibody tests look
for antibodies in your immune system produced in
response to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes
COVID-19. Antibody tests should not be used to
diagnose an active COVID-19 infection.

under FDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for
the detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2
and can be used in applications that require

state health department for additional
information regarding specific uses.
