What Is Rapid COVID-19 Testing?
A rapid antigen test is done at our counter and read within minutes. No laboratory, no courier, no waiting for an email. The trade is sensitivity. A rapid test is very good at catching an active infection when viral levels are high. Early in an infection it can miss. If a negative has to be reliable, a PCR test is the better choice.
Who Should Consider COVID-19 Testing?
Township patients use rapid tests in the scenarios below: morning symptoms, recent exposure, same-day plans around vulnerable family. The answer arrives in minutes and the day adjusts accordingly.
Are experiencing cold, flu, or COVID-like symptoms
The situation rapid testing suits best, because viral levels are high.
Have recently been exposed to someone who tested positive
Worth testing, though early in an exposure a negative is less conclusive.
Need testing before travel
Check the requirement first, since many airlines want laboratory PCR.
Require testing for work or school
Ask whether a documented result is needed before choosing rapid.
Want reassurance after possible exposure
Quick, though a negative early on does not rule an infection out.
Need testing before visiting family
Common here, with around 17,000 residents over 65 across the city.
Why Need Rapid COVID-19 Testing?
Care communities frequently ask visitors to test beforehand, especially in winter. We provide a documented result the setting will accept, and explain the limits of an antigen test if the visit involves someone frail. An early answer also lets you seek appropriate medical care, follow recommended precautions, and reduce the risk of spreading illness to the people around you.

Frequently Asked Questions
I am visiting a relative in a care community.
Worth testing if you have symptoms, with the caveat that a negative early in an infection is not conclusive. Many settings have their own visiting policy, so check that too.
How quickly do I get the result?
Minutes rather than days.
Rapid or PCR?
Rapid if you have symptoms and want to know today. PCR if a negative needs to be reliable.
My rapid test was negative but I still feel unwell.
Take that seriously. A PCR is the sensible follow-up.
Do I need an appointment?
Often not, though calling ahead is worth it during a busy respiratory season.
Can you test my child?
Yes. Mention their age when you call, and a parent or guardian needs to be present.
Will I get something in writing?
Yes, if you need it. Say so when you come in.
What if I test positive?
A pharmacist will talk you through what to do next, including isolation guidance.
