FAQs

If you have any questions or concerns that are not addressed below, please email us at covid19@hudsonmedical.com.

What is the COVID-Rapid 19 PCR Test? What does it tell me?

The Active COVID-19 PCR test is designed to detect active SARS-CoV-2 virus in the saliva of patients. This test will tell you if you are currently infected with the virus that causes COVID-19.

Who is appropriate for the COVID-19 Rapid PCR test? Should I be tested?

A physician can review your symptoms and medical history in order to determine if you should receive testing. Persons with symptoms of COVID-19 (fever, cough, shortness of breath, chills, muscle pain, new loss of taste or smell, vomiting or diarrhea, sore throat) are appropriate for testing. Since some individuals detected with the virus have had no symptoms, even if you are not experiencing these, you may be appropriate for testing if, for example, you were exposed to someone who was known to be infected. If you have severe symptoms including, difficulty breathing, consider seeking immediate medical attention.

What does it mean if I have a positive result on the COVID-19 Rapid PCR Test?

If you test positive for COVID-19 by a viral test, you were infected at the time the sample was collected. This means that you currently have COVID-19. Precautionary measures should be taken to prevent the spread of disease including: staying home except for medical care, monitoring of symptoms, separating yourself from other people in your household, avoiding sharing household items, cleaning all “high-touch” surfaces every day, cleaning hands often, cover coughs and sneezes, wear cloth covering over your nose and mouth and calling ahead before visiting your doctor. Check with your healthcare provider, and local authorities regarding progression of symptoms and the discontinuation of home isolation.

What does it mean if I have a negative result on the COVID-19 Rapid PCR Test?

If you test negative for COVID-19 by a viral test, you probably were not infected at the time your sample was collected. However, that does not mean you will not get sick. The test result only means that you did not have any detectable Sars-Cov-2 virus at the time of testing.
