What is COVID testing?

COVID testing is a method used to detect whether you currently have an active COVID-19 infection. The test is straightforward, quick, and usually causes little to no discomfort. It is the most accurate way to confirm if you are infected, which is vital for receiving timely treatment and avoiding severe health issues. Testing also helps prevent the spread of the virus by alerting you to take precautions that protect others in your community.

Who should undergo COVID testing?

According to guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), anyone showing symptoms linked to COVID-19 should get tested. Typical symptoms to watch for include:

  • Elevated temperature
  • Sore throat
  • Loss of sense of smell or taste
  • Muscle aches or body pain
  • Headaches
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Nasal congestion or runny nose
  • Feeling unusually tired
  • Difficulty breathing

 

Since these symptoms can also be signs of other illnesses such as the flu or common cold, testing remains important even if you think it might be something else. Additionally, testing may be necessary before travel or if requested by your workplace or other organizations.

What should I do if my COVID test is positive?

If your test confirms COVID-19 infection, try not to panic. The majority of people recover with no serious complications. Symptoms may feel similar to the flu and range from mild to severe. Your healthcare provider will advise you on managing symptoms and will keep track of your condition as your body fights the virus.

Should you experience worsening symptoms such as trouble breathing or extreme weakness, hospital care might be required. Your provider will guide you on when and how to seek urgent medical attention.
