Whats the difference between PCR vs Rapid tests?
PCR
PCR tests, which is an abbreviation for polymerase chain reaction (PCR), are done orally or through a nasal swab and detect the DNA of the virus. It takes a longer time for you to get your results for this test since your sample is taken to a laboratory to get processed. The results of this test can tell you if you currently have the virus or if you have been exposed to the virus
PCR
Rapid test: The department of Human and Health Services in partnership with the United States Postal Service provides every home address in the United States with four rapid tests for free, no medical insurance needed.
