Several sites have opened in Dutchess County for those wishing to receive a diagnostic test for coronavirus/COVID-19.
Each collection site description below includes what type of test will be conducted, if available, as well as the site's eligibility criteria - be sure to read the full description and list of requirements BEFORE visiting a collection site.
For questions about testing and a host of other COVID related topics please fill out and submit our Coronavirus/COVID-19 Inquiry Form.
Currently, there are two types of diagnostic tests which detect the virus – molecular tests, such as RT-PCR tests, that detect the virus’s genetic material, and antigen tests that detect specific proteins on the surface of the virus. To decide which test is right for you, read more about the different kinds of tests from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Some sites are now offering COVID-19 antibody testing for those who have had a postitive test result or think they may have had COVID-19 and recovered.
PLEASE NOTE: Antibodies can take several days or weeks to develop after you have an infection and may stay in your blood for several weeks or more after recovery. Because of this, antibody tests should not be used to diagnose an active coronavirus infection. At this time researchers do not know if the presence of antibodies means that you are immune to the coronavirus in the future. Read more from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
