PCR tests are best for early diagnosis of infection, even when a person does not yet have any symptoms. Antigen tests return results much faster than PCR tests (most in just 15 minutes). Rapid antigen tests are less sensitive than PCR tests and may return false negative results when a person is not yet showing symptoms or is in the first few days of their infection. PCR tests are highly sensitive, and the results are very reliable, meaning that false negative and false positive results are uncommon. There are two main types of COVID-19 test: PCR tests and rapid antigen tests.
