Testing Centers in Daytona Beach, FL

There are two types of tests available for COVID-19: viral and antibody testing.

A viral test tells you if you have a current infection.
An antibody test might tell you if you had a past infection.

If you test positive or negative for COVID-19 on a viral or an antibody test, you still should take preventive measures to protect yourself and others.

Viral Tests for COVID-19

Viral tests check samples from your respiratory system, such as a swab from the inside of your nose or mouth or your saliva, to tell you if you currently have an infection with the virus that causes COVID-19. Some tests are point-of-care tests, meaning results may be available at the testing site in less than an hour. Other tests must be sent to a laboratory to analyze, a process that takes 1–2 days once received by the lab. The provider who did your test should provide you with your results.

Those exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 who wish to be tested should first call their primary care physician.

Halifax Health is not a testing site. Patients should only report to Halifax Health if they are in need of emergency hospital care.
