COVID Testing Q&A


When should I get COVID testing?

If you have symptoms of COVID, you need testing immediately. You may also consider COVID testing for the following reasons:

  • Signs of a COVID infection
  • Concerns about exposure to COVID
  • Upcoming event, such as a family gathering or wedding
  • Co-worker or employee tests positive for COVID or has symptoms
  • Upcoming travels or you’ve recently traveled

Common symptoms may include fever, runny nose, chills, cough, fatigue, loss of sense of smell or taste, and diarrhea. 

The sooner you know your COVID status, the sooner you can get the care you need and get back to your life, so Path MD Labs recommends coming in for a test if you have any of these symptoms. 

What types of COVID testing are available?
