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.
