If you think you’ve been exposed to coronavirus and have symptoms including fever, coughing, fatigue, and body aches, call Little Village Immediate Care for customized advice about testing.
They might recommend that you have a viral test, even if you don’t have symptoms, as you can spread the illness even if you’re asymptomatic.
However, it’s important to note that COVID-19 has an average incubation period of 5-7 days, although it can take up to 14 days. It’s possible to get a false negative if you have the viral test too early.
You should have antibody testing after you’ve recovered from coronavirus. Your body needs up to three weeks to produce antibodies from the time you develop symptoms.
A positive antibody test means that you had the virus. Medical researchers haven’t confirmed if having antibodies protects you against getting coronavirus again.
