Types of tests
There are
different types of tests - diagnostic tests and antibody tests.
The diagnostic
tests can show if you have the active COVID-19 virus and whether the steps need
to be taken to quarantine or isolate others. The molecular and antigen tests
are types of diagnostic tests that can be used to detect COVID-19 active
infection. Samples of diagnostic tests are usually collected with a nasal
and/or throat swab.
The antibody
tests look for antibodies in your immune system that are produced during the
transfer of COVID-19. The antibody tests should not be used to diagnose
COVID-19 active infection. The antibody development may take several days or
weeks and may remain in the blood for several weeks or more after the recovery.
The antibody test samples are taken from the patient's blood.
