Why COVID-19 Testing is Essential

COVID-19 testing is crucial for identifying and controlling the spread of the virus. By getting tested, you can confirm whether you have contracted COVID-19 and take appropriate measures to protect yourself and others. Early detection through testing can help reduce the risk of severe illness and prevent the spread of the virus in the community.

Comprehensive COVID-19 Testing Services at Ladera Urgent Care

At Ladera Urgent Care, we offer a range of COVID-19 testing options to meet your needs. Our clinic provides testing for both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients, ensuring that everyone has access to reliable and accurate testing.

Types of COVID-19 Tests We Offer:

• Rapid Antigen Test: This test involves a nasal or oral swab and provides results in as little as 15 minutes. It is ideal for those who need quick results.
• PCR Test: The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test is a molecular test that detects the genetic material of the virus. A nasal swab is used to collect the sample, and results are typically available within 24 hours.
• Antibody Test: This test checks for antibodies from a previous COVID-19 infection. It helps determine if you have developed immunity to the virus. Results are usually available within 48 hours.

When Should You Get a COVID-19 Test?

You should get a COVID-19 test if you experience symptoms such as fever, muscle aches, chills, cough, shortness of breath, runny nose, congestion, sore throat, headache, fatigue, or loss of taste or smell. Additionally, testing is recommended if you have been exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID-19, traveled recently, attended crowded events, or need to show test results for school, work, or other places.
