What you need to know

How do I know I should test for COVID-19?

Everyone should be testing to see whether they have or have had this disease. The benefits of testing are twofold:
  1. Personal. The results will allow you to see the levels of antibodies of two types in your body, which report contact with the virus. IgM antibodies indicate a recent infection, whereas IgG antibodies indicate past infection. In the event that such antibodies are found, a certain degree of protection against this disease may be assumed. 
  2. Societal.  Allows to see the prevalence of COVID-19 infection and the percentage of population with antibodies. Social immunity is achieved when 80% of the population has antibodies. When it happens, the disease can be considered to be under control. 

How are the tests carried out?

The Rapid Antibody Test is carried out on the blood serum. Therefore, it consists of the vein blood extraction.
The Rapid Antigen Test is carried out as a PCR test via a nasopharyngeal swab. 

When do I get my results?

The results for COVID-19 at Clínica La Siesta now only take 5 minutes. After your blood is extracted or a swab is taken, you only will need to wait for a couple of minutes in the waiting room, and the doctor will communicate the result to you straight away. 

RAPID ANTIBODY TEST FOR COVID-19

We are currently in the vaccination phase. When you are called to be vaccinated, you should be asked whether you have had COVID-19 infection at any time in the past. This is because it is recommended to delay the vaccination of those affected by the disease for 6 months.
In order to be able to answer this question with greater certainty, it is advisable to carry out a rapid antibody test prior to your vaccination appointment.
On the other hand, if after complete vaccination you wish to know whether you are part of the 90% of those who acquire immunity, or on the contrary, part of the remaining 10% who do not acquire it, nothing is easier than verifying the presence of IgG antibodies with a rapid test in Clínica La Siesta.
