There are 2 types of tests you can take for COVID-19: a diagnostic test or an antibody test.
A diagnostic test reveals if you have an active coronavirus infection. Samples of cells and fluids from the nose or throat are collected via a swab, then processed by a machine that detects the virus’s genetic material.
There are 2 types of diagnostic tests:
Also known as a serology test, an antibody test reveals if your body has had an immune response to the virus after an infection.
A blood sample is used for the test.
Antibody tests only discover evidence of a previous infection and are therefore not used to diagnose COVID-19.

It is necessary to go for a COVID-19 test when you:
