Need a Test for Traveling?
Before getting tested, please check with your airline and destination to see which type of COVID-19 test they require. We offer rapid COVID-19 tests with results in 15 minutes, which are accepted by many airlines. We also offer PCR tests, which can take up to 5-7 days for results.
Antibody Tests
Lake Urgent Care/Lake After Hours offers Rapid COVID-19 Antibody Testing with results in 15 minutes or less. Different from our Rapid COVID-19 Tests, the antibody tests are for individuals who believe they had COVID-19 in the past but may not have been tested at the time of symptoms. Testing will determine if a person has produced an immune response to the virus and has developed detectable antibodies. Therefore, the result will confirm whether the patient has had the COVID-19 virus. This test is appropriate for those who:
- Had a confirmed past infection with no symptoms in over two weeks.
- Have received last vaccination in their series longer than two weeks ago.
- Had symptoms but were never tested, and more than 2 weeks have passed since symptom resolution.
- Were exposed greater than 2 weeks ago and request a test.
*It is unclear if those antibodies can provide immunity against another infection. This means, at this time, we do not know if antibodies make you immune to the COVID-19 virus.
*This test has not been FDA cleared or approved, but has been authorized for emergency use by authorized labs only for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies, and not for any other viruses or pathogens. This authorization is for the duration of the declaration that circumstances justify under Section 564(b)(1), 21 USC 360bbb-3(b)(1).
