What types of services do you offer?

What is the difference between a PCR and Rapid Test?
PCR tests are recommended by healthcare professionals to detect COVID-19 when symptoms begin to appear or if you have been exposed to someone with COVID-19. PCR tests detect the molecular (genetic) presence of the virus. A PCR test detects COVID-19 earlier than rapid tests, even among people who are asymptomatic. Rapid tests are over-the-counter tests that detect the antigen protein created by the virus. It is not as sensitive as the PCR test in detecting COVID-19 in its early stages and has therefore been known to produce “false negative” results. Rapid tests are useful to track your recovery process.
