    Testing results are provided directly by the facility that conducted the test. In most cases, you will be notified using information provided during registration. 

    Most testing providers offer rapid result tests. Using these methods test results are available typically within 15-20 minutes. There are some tests that require a more complex lab analysis. The lab generated tests are more accurate and require more time to result. Typically, one of these PCR tests take between 24 and 72 hours to be analyzed.
