Fast Facts About Rapid PCR Testing for COVID-19

The “gold standard” of COVID-19 diagnostics, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests deliver highly accurate results with little need for re-testing. This method involves a nasal swab and screens for the genetic material of SARS-CoV-2 (the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19, a respiratory illness). During the test, a long, thin cotton swab is gently inserted into the patient’s nostril to collect a mucus sample. The sample is then evaluated in our on-site clinical lab, and results are made available the same or next day.

So, when is the best time to receive rapid PCR testing for COVID-19? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends testing three to five days after a patient believes they were exposed to the virus. If you are already experiencing possible symptoms of COVID-19—which can include fever, chills, shortness of breath, and muscle aches—it’s time to get tested.

"We have a special needs daughter who needed her foot looked at. Thankful that Affinity accepted her Medicaid first of all. Staff was nice, did not have a long wait, doctor was knowledgeable and understanding with our daughter, which means a lot. She was able to get x-rays done on her foot and received the results before we left. A great place to go on short notice."

"Facility was very clean. Very short wait. The doctor and x-ray tech were great!!"

"Fast and friendly. Was in and out in about an hour, and the PA and nurses were great. Much better experience than the ER."

"The Affinity care clinic in Galveston was wonderful. I walked in Memorial Day (without an appointment) and was seen by a very courteous and helpful staff. I highly recommend them."

"My experience at this urgent care facility was a pleasant one. I brought my daughter in due to an allergic reaction. The staff members there were awesome!"
