OVERVIEW OF COVID-19 SPECIAL EVENTS PROGRAM
Even though many people have been vaccinated, it’s clear, due to uncertainty surrounding vaccine immunity, that COVID-19 testing will play a critical role in ensuring safety at special events this Summer. Weddings, concerts, conferences, and graduation parties are a few of the times when potentially at-risk people come together and viruses can be transmitted.
IGeneX is pleased to offer a SARS-CoV-2 Real-Time RT PCR test that detects the presence of the underlying virus that causes COVID-19. This type of test is considered the gold standard for COVID-19 testing.
Because IGeneX is a CLIA certified lab authorized to perform RT-PCR testing, our COVID-19 tests meet the strict requirements set forth by many local, state, national, and international governing bodies to verify whether someone has an active infection.
WHO SHOULD BE TESTED FOR COVID-19?
RECOMMENDATION: ALL EVENT ATTENDEES
IGeneX recommends both symptomatic and asymptomatic people be tested for COVID-19.
- Symptomatic people are those showing symptoms such as fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. If positive, the person can be quarantined and treated before the disease spreads.
- Asymptomatic people are those not showing symptoms, but who may be carrying the disease. Identifying these so-called “silent spreaders” could help public health workers be more effective at contact tracing by identifying others who have been exposed and may require quarantine.
RECOMMENDED COVID-19 TEST FOR SPECIAL EVENTS
THE BEST CHOICE: SARS-CoV-2 Real-Time RT PCR
Many COVID-19 tests are rapid antigen tests, which are statistically less accurate than RT-PCR tests. Recent reports also detail how these rapid tests can give false negative results (meaning you test negative but are actually infected), as well as false positive results (meaning you do not have the virus but test positive).
We strongly recommend choosing an RT-PCR COVID-19 test, whether that is through IGeneX or another lab.
