Testing is a crucial step in the fight against COVID-19, and many different types of tests are available at this time. Each type of test has a different method for gathering the specimen, which could be a swab at the start of the nostrils, the middle of the nose/throat, or the very back of the nose. The short video on the right explains the differences between tests. You can also see a breakdown of the differences here.

Once you test positive, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) does not recommend additional testing for at least 3 months from when your first symptoms developed. If you have new onset of symptoms before 3 months or are immunocompromised, talk to your doctor about additional testing. More info on what to if you tested positive for COVID-19.
