More info on COVID-19 testing
What type of test is it?
A molecular COVID-19 test (NAAT, nucleic acid amplification test). NAAT is the same family of tests as PCR: it detects the virus’s genetic material, with faster results.
When will I get my results?
Within 2 hours.
When should I get tested for COVID-19?
It’s hard to tell COVID-19 apart from a cold or the flu. If you have symptoms or were exposed to someone with COVID-19, testing helps you know what you have and what to do next.
What is the cost?
$75 at any of our clinics, or $100 with a Centas mobile nurse at your home or office on the island of Montréal (a $75 travel surcharge applies off the island). Most private health insurance plans cover the cost.
How long does the appointment take?
About 15 minutes.
