Saliva, which is collected painlessly by spitting into a sterile tube, is tested using gold-standard PCR analysis that detects the genetic signature of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. PCR is a far more accurate test than rapid antigen testing. And because we run the lab in-house, we get results the same day. We combine the saliva of up to 5 people into a single test. This is called surveillance testing since we’re looking for infection among a group of people rather than in an individual. COVID-19 testing now available to the public on Tuesdays and Thursdays at SIJCC! Enjoy in-house PCR testing with same-day results for $115 for a group of up to 5 individuals. Unlike the Curative tests, our tests don’t use swabs (just pure saliva) and are designed to detect COVID-19 in asymptomatic people. read less
