Which COVID 19 Testing Option Could Be the Best
to Detect Omicron Virus Before Travel PCR or
Lateral Flow Methods?

• Theres been an unexpected twist to the pandemic
  saga. A new strain of CoV-2, Omicron, was
  discovered only a few weeks ago.
• It has the potential to be the leading strain
  worldwide. According to the World Health
  Organization, it is present in at least 24
  countries worldwide. Countries are scrambling to
  get ready.
• Omicron has spread rapidly, and Covid-19
  cases have doubled every three days or less.
  Testing for COVID 19 is one way to protect
  yourself and others against the virus, along with
  booster vaccination and proper masking.
• COVID-19 infections caused by the omicron variant
  have caused heightened concerns and prompted
  increased mitigations across the U.S.
• According to health officials, the strain has
  taken a firm hold in the U.S., accounting for
  more than 95 of new cases. Several different
  tests are available at COVID Testing Center
  Orange County to detect a potentially harmful
  strain.

In what ways is Omicron different from other
variants?

• Viruses constantly mutate, resulting in new
  versions or variants.
• Some of these can make the virus more harmful or
  spread quickly. Scientists term these variants
  of concern (VoC).
• Omicron is a VoC because it contains many
  mutations never seen before.
•  Protein spikes are the part of the virus
  typically targeted by vaccines.
• Initial reports suggested that existing vaccines
  might not work against Omicron.

What symptoms does Omicron have?

• Omicron appears to be more like a cold for some
  people with commonly reported symptoms including
  a sore throat, runny nose, and a headache.
• Previous COVID variants were more likely to lose
  taste or smell, a new cough, and a high
  temperature although these are still the three
  official symptoms.
• If you experience any COVID symptoms, please call
  (714) 4856555, and we will provide you with
  information about testing.

In the COVID Testing Center Orange County,
Omicron is detected using the following tests.

• PCR Later flow tests. But the biggest worldwide
  concern is which one of both types of COVID test
  is the best option.
• The lateral flow test, also known as rapid
  antigen testing, has never been the gold standard
  for Coronavirus testing. Nevertheless, because it
  is relatively inexpensive and provides results
  quickly within 30 minutes, it is widely used,
  especially at home.
• Polymerase chain reaction tests are performed in
  laboratories and, although more expensive, they
  are typically more sensitive. They tend to
  produce fewer false-negative results. COVID
  Testing Center Orange County uses swabs from PCR
  tests for analysis to determine if the variant
  causing the infection is Omicron, Delta, or
  something else.

Due to the omicron variant causing huge surges of
Covid-19 infection, if youre eager to get away
for a business trip or see family. How safe is
air travel?

• Today, travelers have many COVID-19 testing
  options, but getting a PCR test for travel is
  more important than ever. 
• Orange County Labs offer a PCR test for travel
  for those about to leave the country soon,
  especially those who need PCR results within a
  day or two.
• Then Orange County COVID Testing Center is the
  best place to get tested for PCR test for travel.

• Most countries require that you undergo a PCR
  test before they admit you into their country and
  that you have the correct documentation to go
  along with it.
• Others might let you satisfy the requirement with
  a rapid antigen test, which is cheaper and easier
  to obtain.
• However, rapid tests may not detect omicron in
  the early stages of infection. According to a new
  study, PCR tests detected the omicron virus
  earlier than rapid tests.

  the PCR Test at Orange County.
