What is SARS_CoV-2?
The SARS-CoV-2 test detects the presence of the virus that causes COVID-19, typically using a nasal swab, saliva sample, or throat swab. Preparation may include avoiding eating or drinking for a short time before the test.
During the test, a healthcare provider collects the sample, which may cause mild discomfort. Results are typically ready in 24-48 hours, depending on the test type.
Positive results indicate infection; negative results suggest no current infection. Conditions like recent exposure or vaccination status can influence results.
False negatives or positives are possible, so follow-up testing may be required in some cases.
What to expect & how to prepare
SARS_CoV-2 is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.
- Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
- Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
- Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
- Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your SARS_CoV-2 result rather than self-diagnosing.
