RAPID ANTIGEN COVID TEST NEWPORT BEACH
GET YOUR TEST RESULTS QUICKLY
At Newport Center Urgent Care, you can receive antigen tests that provide results within the same day. Our facility also provides a range of additional services and is staffed by knowledgeable healthcare professionals.
The rapid antigen test is a quick and easy way to test for the presence of the COVID-19 virus. This type of testing can be done in as little as 15 minutes and does not require any special equipment. Antigen tests are generally considered to be less accurate than PCR tests, but they are much faster and easier to administer. This makes them ideal for use in situations where rapid results are needed, (such as screening large numbers of people at airports or other public places).
There are several different types of rapid antigen tests available on the market, but they all work in essentially the same way. A small sample of fluid is taken from the nose using a swab. This sample is then placed on a test strip that contains antibodies that will bind to the COVID-19 virus if it is present. The strip is then inserted into a testing device, which uses light to detect the presence of the virus.
are rapid antigen test accurate?
While rapid antigen tests are not as accurate as PCR tests, they are still a valuable tool for identifying people who are infected with the COVID-19 virus. In most cases, rapid antigen tests will correctly identify people who are infected and will not give false positive results. However, there is a small chance that a rapid antigen test could give a false positive result if the person being tested has been recently exposed to the virus but is not actually infected.
It should be noted that rapid antigen COVID tests also give false negatives. That means a negative result does not rule out the possibility of infection. With this in mind, negative results from an antigen test may need to be confirmed with a PCR test prior to making treatment decisions or to prevent the possible spread of the virus due to a false negative.

WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON COVID-19 SYMPTOMS?
There are a number of symptoms that have been associated with COVID-19. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms, it is best to get tested as quickly as possible. These symptoms include:
Fever
Coughing
Shortness of breath
Sore throat
Muscle pain
Headache
IF YOU TEST POSITIVE FOR COVID-19
If you test positive for COVID-19, there are a few things you need to do. First, it is important to self-isolate and avoid contact with others as much as possible. This will help prevent the spread of the virus. Second, you should contact your healthcare provider and let them know about your diagnosis. They will be able to provide you with information about treatment and care. Finally, you should follow the guidance of your local health department in terms of quarantine and isolation requirements. By following these steps, you can help protect yourself and others from the virus.
HOW LONG ARE YOU CONTAGIOUS IF YOU HAVE COVID-19?
According to the CDC, "A person with COVID-19 is considered infectious starting two days before they develop symptoms, or two days before the date of their positive test if they do not have symptoms." Whether or not you do have symptoms, anyone who tests positive for the virus should take specific precautions for at least 10 days.
WHEN YOU NEED TO SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR COVID-19
COVID-19 is an emerging viral infection that can be serious. If you have symptoms like trouble breathing, chest pain, or bluish skin and lips then it's best for a healthcare provider to examine your situation as soon as possible because these conditions require immediate attention from medical professionals who may recommend antiviral drugs or monoclonal antibodies treatments respectively.
OTHER TYPES OF COVID TESTING OPTIONS
There are a few different types of tests that can be used to diagnose coronavirus. The most common is a PCR test, which looks for the presence of the virus in your body. PCR tests can be done with a swab of your nose or throat, or with a sample of your blood.
Now, both rapid PCR and lab PCR tests are available, depending upon your needs.
Another type of test, called an antibody test, can tell if you have had coronavirus in the past. This can be helpful information for people who think they may have been exposed to the virus but are not sure.

THE FASTEST WAY TO GET YOUR RESULTS
We strive to provide the highest level of care possible, and we are dedicated to keeping our community safe and healthy. That’s why we offer a drive-thru COVID testing clinic in the parking lot of our urgent care center everyday from 8-4pm. If you need testing after that time, we ask that you please park in one of the designated parking spots, (right by the front door), and call the clinic to let them know you need a test. One of our staff will then meet you at your car to perform your patient intake and testing. This way we help prevent anyone with possible COVID symptoms, (or exposure), from coming into the clinic and potentially creating more exposure for our staff and our patients.
