Coronavirus (COVID-19) is an illness caused by a virus that is transmitted from person to person. Symptoms can range from mild (or no symptoms) to severe illness. One can be infected from respiratory droplets when an infected person sneezes or coughs. Other ways that one can be infected is by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it, and then touching their mouth, nose, or eyes.
The PCR swab test is a qualitative molecular test that uses a nasal or nasopharyngeal collection to look for the genetic material from the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the virus that causes COVID-19. This test helps identify if you have been exposed to and carry the virus.
