 Common symptoms of covid-19


Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) symptoms may occur 2 to 14 days after exposure. You can still transfer COVID-19 even if you don't have symptoms. So getting tested as soon as possible is the best option for you. In this regard, you can get tested in the coronation clinic in Singapore to get your covid results quickly.

How do I get the Quick COVID-19 test?


Two tests will provide you with the results quickly: the PCR swab test and the Antigen Rapid Test. The results can be obtained in 24 to 36 hours if we examine the PCR Swab test. Furthermore, if you need the results quickly, the Antigen Rapid Test is the best option, as the results get available in 15-30 minutes.


Rapid antigen tests can find the protein on the Coronavirus's outer surface. The duration of a test from start to finish is 15 to 30 minutes. 


Tests for antigens are often less expensive. An antigen test is a valuable tool for tracking infection in those who have frequent contact with COVID-19-infected individuals, despite being less sensitive than the RT-PCR test.


Antigen Rapid tests are frequently used as mass screening tests to promptly find SARS-CoV-2 infections in hospitals or other confinement areas. It effectively aids in the prompt deployment of infection prevention measures.



How does the Antigen Rapid Test function?


For an antigen test, a person will swab samples from their nose and throat into a solution that contains salt and soap to break down cells and particles. The liquid will then be applied to a test strip with antibodies specific to the virus. As they would inside the body, antibodies on the strip will bind to the antigens in the sample. In a positive sample, a line will be visible to show the presence of the virus or other antigen.
