Understanding the Role of COVID-19 Testing
Different Testing Methods
The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically reshaped our lives, impacting everything from how we work to how we connect with loved ones. In the face of this persistent health crisis, the importance of readily available and reliable COVID-19 testing cannot be overstated. At Moreau Family Health, we understand the anxieties surrounding the virus and are dedicated to providing accessible, compassionate, and efficient testing services to help our community stay informed and protected. With a commitment to your well-being, Moreau Family Health is your dependable partner in navigating these challenging times.
Knowing what type of testing you need is essential. The gold standard for diagnosing an active COVID-19 infection is the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test. This highly accurate test analyzes samples to detect the genetic material of the virus. PCR tests are known for their reliability and sensitivity, making them excellent choices for confirming infections.
Another testing option, the antigen test, provides rapid results. This option is often used when fast detection is crucial, allowing for quicker isolation and intervention measures. While antigen tests may be less sensitive than PCR tests, they offer the advantage of speed and can be performed easily.
While less common, antibody tests have a distinct but essential role in understanding your exposure. Antibody tests search for the body’s immune response to a past infection.
At Moreau Family Health, we understand the importance of early detection and how that can help our patients. Identifying infections early allows individuals to take protective steps, preventing further transmission. By prioritizing testing, we contribute significantly to stemming the tide of infection and safeguarding the health of our community.

Who Should Get Tested?
Testing Guidelines
The importance of COVID-19 testing cannot be overstated, and it’s crucial to know when to get tested to protect yourself and others.
Individuals exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 should promptly seek testing. These symptoms can vary widely, but common signs include fever, cough, fatigue, sore throat, and loss of taste or smell.
If you have come into contact with someone diagnosed with COVID-19, testing is vital. Close contact increases the risk of infection, and testing helps to quickly identify potential cases and prevent further spread.
Traveling, attending events, or working in high-risk settings are more instances where testing becomes essential. Pre-travel testing, for instance, is commonly required by airlines and destinations, ensuring a safer experience for everyone.
Testing is not just a health measure, it’s a proactive step in safeguarding your health and those around you.
