| RT-PCR Test (Swab) |
If a patient has symptoms of COVID or has been recently exposed to the virus, diagnosis can be confirmed by taking a swab sample from the respiratory tract. | This test can also be used to confirm that a patient does not have a current infection and might also be used for the purpose of travel (Fit to Fly) to certain countries or on return to England (Test to Release). | |
| Rapid Antigen (Lateral Flow) | If a patient has symptoms of COVID or has been recently exposed to the virus, diagnosis can be confirmed in 15-30 minutes by taking a swab sample from the respiratory tract. | This test can also be used to confirm that a patient does not have a current infection and might also be used for the purpose of travel to countries not requesting PCR (see FCO website) | |
| Antibody Blood Test (SPIKE) |
If a person has had a COVID vaccine this test will determine a quantitative value of the immune response. | This is a quantitative test and not everyone who has had the vaccine will develop a visible immune response to the vaccine. | |
| Antibody Blood Test (IgM) | 14 days after COVID this test can indicate if a person has developed IgM antibodies, which will indicate an immune response. | This is a qualitative test and might be used to confirm infection for travel if vaccination is contraindicated, not all persons will show visible antibody levels following COVID infection | |
