PCR testing is considered the “gold standard” in SARS-CoV-2 detection. This test actually detects RNA (or genetic material) that is specific to the virus and can detect the virus within days of infection, even those who have no symptoms. After the specimen is collected, it is processed in a CLIA certified laboratory, clinic or hospital. Turnaround time is longer, generally in the 2-3 day range but PCR results can be in as little as 24 hours. When demand is high, results can take a week or longer.
