Types of Covid Testing

KnowNOW Health offers both the PCR nasal swab and rapid antigen testing for COVID-19 at all locations. While the rapid test is highly reliable, the PCR nasal swab is the most accurate way to determine if the COVID-19 virus is present. Patients who need a test for work, school, travel will typically need the PCR nasal swab. For those wondering if they have Covid or another respiratory illness, KnowNOW offers a 3-in-1 Covid/Flu/Strep rapid test as well.

Turnaround Time and Cost

COVID-19 test results are returned within 15 minutes for rapid antigen testing. For the nasal swab PCR test, most results will return in 2-3 days. However, please note that some results may return later due to capacity/staffing and weather events. COVID-19 testing is no longer subsidized for all by the federal government, yet KnowNOW remains committed to providing equitable access to testing for all, and no one will be turned away.
