Testing
As the country moves forward to reopen on a state-by-state phase-in, COVID-19 testing will become the new normal in our every-day lives. At the same time COVID-19 testing guidance will continue to be refined and the tests will continue to become more readily available. WHG would like to provide the information to help explain the differences between the two kinds of COVID-19 tests available today.

Two kinds of tests are available for COVID-19: : viral tests and antibody tests
A viral test tells you if you have a current infection.
A viral test tells you if you have a current infection.
- Viral tests check samples from your respiratory system (such as swabs of the inside of the nose) to tell you if you currently have an infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Some tests are point-of-care tests, meaning results may be available at the testing site in less than an hour. Other tests must be sent to a laboratory to analyze, a process that takes 1-2 days once received by the lab.
An antibody test tells you if you had a previous infection
- Antibody blood tests, also called antibody tests, check your blood by looking for antibodies, which show if you had a previous infection with the virus. Depending on when someone was infected and the timing of the test, the test may not find antibodies in someone with a current COVID-19 infection. Antibodies are proteins that help fight off infections. Antibody tests should not be used to diagnose someone as being currently sick with COVID-19. To see if you have a current infection, you need a viral test, which checks respiratory samples, such as a swab from inside your nose. Antibody tests are available through healthcare providers and laboratories.
