When To Get a Rapid COVID-19 Test in NYC
PCR and rapid tests are both diagnostic tests, meaning they both detect active infections of COVID-19. Generally, PCR tests are more accurate and less prone to false-negative results; however, it may take 5-7 days to receive your results from a PCR test. Learn more here.
If you are able to self-isolate for 5-7 days, you should get the PCR test for the most accurate result. If you need the results immediately, you may consider a rapid test.
The following clinics conduct rapid coronavirus testing in Manhattan, Staten Island, the Bronx, and Brooklyn. For more information on the out-of-pocket costs and site information for some of the testing locations, located here.
