Quest Diagnostics begins to perform COVID-19 antibody testing. In addition to molecular diagnostic laboratory testing, Quest now provides COVID-19 antibody testing using blood samples. Antibodies developed by the body in response to a viral infection may provide potential immunity against future infection.
Where can I get a COVID-19 test?
If you think you have COVID-19 and need a test, contact your health care provider or local health department immediately. You can also find a community testing site in your state, or buy an FDA-authorized at-home test. Some FDA-authorized at-home tests give you results within minutes. Others require you to mail the sample to a lab for analysis.
How much is a rapid Covid test?
In the United States, the tests can range from $7 to $12 each, making them too expensive for most people to use frequently.
