Types of COVID-19 Tests
There are two different types of tests – diagnostic tests and antibody tests.
An antibody test looks for a past infection and should not be used to diagnose an active infection.
A diagnostic test, such as a PCR or rapid antigen test, can show if you have an active infection.
Diagnostic testing is available at the following Pasadena locations. Testing is also available at other locations in your community, such as some urgent care centers and pharmacies. Contact your healthcare provider for testing options - out of pocket fees and charges may apply.
