COVID-19 Tests We Offer

At St. Michael’s Elite Hospital, we offer fast, accurate COVID-19 and respiratory diagnostic testing to help patients quickly identify illness, receive appropriate care, and prevent further spread.

COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test

This nasal swab test detects active COVID-19 infection and delivers results in approximately 15 minutes. It is ideal for patients with symptoms or known exposure who need immediate answers. Not intended for those who have already recovered.

COVID-19 PCR Test (Molecular Test)

The PCR test detects the genetic material of SARS-CoV-2 and is considered highly accurate. Samples are collected via nasal swab, with results typically available within 28–72 hours. Commonly required for travel, employment, or confirmatory diagnosis.

COVID-19 Antibody Test

Antibody testing helps determine past exposure to COVID-19 in patients who previously experienced symptoms and have since recovered. This test does not detect active infection.

Emergency COVID-19 Testing

Rapid COVID-19 testing is available in the emergency room for patients with urgent symptoms. No appointment is required, and testing is supported by board-certified physicians and immediate medical care when needed.

Conditions COVID-19 Testing Can Help Identify

COVID-19 testing helps detect active infections, identify asymptomatic carriers, and monitor immune response, guiding treatment, isolation, and public health measures.

Active COVID-19 Infection

PCR and rapid COVID tests confirm active infection, allowing timely medical intervention and reducing transmission risks.

Asymptomatic Carriers

Testing identifies individuals who carry the virus without symptoms, helping prevent unintentional spread to family, colleagues, and high-risk populations.

Post-Infection Immunity

Antibody testing determines previous exposure and immune response, assisting in monitoring recovery and understanding protection against reinfection.

Risk for Complications

Emergency testing in a COVID ER setting helps identify patients at higher risk for severe illness, enabling early monitoring and intervention.

Signs You Need a COVID-19 Test

If you’re experiencing symptoms or have been exposed, early testing helps confirm infection, guide care, and reduce the spread to others.

Fever or Chills

A sudden fever, persistent chills, or unexplained body temperature increase may indicate infection. Prompt testing ensures early detection and reduces the risk of spreading the virus.

Respiratory Symptoms

Cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, or nasal congestion can signal COVID-19 infection. Testing allows timely care and helps prevent transmission to others.

Loss of Taste or Smell

Sudden loss or change in taste and smell is a hallmark symptom of COVID-19. Testing confirms infection, guiding isolation and treatment measures.

Known Exposure

Close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19 warrants immediate testing, even if no symptoms are present, to prevent silent spread.

Fatigue or Unexplained Illness

Extreme fatigue, body aches, headache, or gastrointestinal symptoms without a clear cause can indicate COVID-19. Testing helps identify the virus early for prompt care.
