How is COVID-19 diagnosed?

COVID-19 is most accurately diagnosed using a laboratory test, called nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT), also more commonly known as a ‘PCR test’. An antigen test may also be self-administered at home, or given by a healthcare provider at a hospital or clinic, to test for COVID-19 as quickly as possible.
