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, which is usually when you feel worst. 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?
Redford uses rapid testing for the moments below: symptoms at breakfast, an exposure at work, plans that involve someone fragile. Next door in Livonia, answer in minutes.
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?
Childcare and school offices generally want written confirmation before a child returns. We provide documentation of the test and result, which is what the office is asking for even when a parent is certain of the answer. Knowing your status early also lets you seek appropriate medical care, follow recommended precautions, and reduce the risk of spreading illness to those around you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do Redford residents get a rapid test?
Next door in Livonia at 37672 Professional Center Drive. Result in minutes, not days.
Do I have to schedule?
Rarely. A call ahead during the winter rush simply means everything is laid out when you arrive.
Which is right, rapid or PCR?
Rapid answers whether you are infectious today when you have symptoms. PCR is for when a negative must hold up, or a laboratory report is demanded.
It said negative but I still feel awful.
Early infection can hide from a rapid kit. Continuing symptoms are exactly when a PCR follow-up earns its keep, and we can arrange one.
Testing a child from Redford?
Yes, with a parent or guardian present. The age matters for how we collect, so mention it when calling.
Can I get it documented?
Ask at the counter and you will leave with written confirmation of the test and result.
Insurance coverage?
It varies with the plan and the purpose. Symptomatic diagnosis and employer or travel screening are billed differently.
Suppose it is positive.
You will not be handed a result and sent off. The pharmacist covers isolation guidance and when to contact your prescriber there and then.
