How is the test performed?
COVID-19 testing is quick and painless. One of our clinicians will briefly swab the inside of each of your nostrils. The swabbing is very minimally invasive. (Previously, testing required a nasopharyngeal swab, deep inside the cavity between the nose and the mouth. This is no longer needed to perform accurate testing).
How long do results take?
Results are provided within 2 to 7 days. In most cases, results are provided within 48 hours. If your test is negative, your result will be provided on your myprevea.com account. If it is positive, we will call you.
