Overview
There are 2 FDA approved tests, a molecular and serological test, better known as virus tests, and antibody tests respectively. Molecular tests, have two options an at home test or a nasal swab. The nasal swab is a 6 inch long swab that is placed up both nostrils and then sent to a lab. As of now serological tests, can only be done through blood sample, which is usually just a finger prick.
Difference
Many people get confused about the difference between these two tests. The result of a molecular test, tells the patients whether or not they currently have COVID-19. Unlike molecular tests, serological tests can identify people who were infected in the past and have recovered.
