Hi Lynn,


Hope you have a mild case. Please call if you'd like to talk!





The more in depth test is a PCR test (Polymerase chain reaction).


PCR tests are used to directly detect the presence of an antigen, rather than the presence of the body’s immune response, or antibodies. By detecting viral RNA, which will be present in the body before antibodies form or symptoms of the disease are present, the tests can tell whether or not someone has the virus very early on.
