COVID-19 testing. Scientifically accurate atomic model of the external structure of SARS-CoV-2. Each "ball" is an atom. COVID-19 testing involves analyzing samples to assess the current or past presence of SARS-CoV-2. The two main types of tests detect either the presence of the virus or antibodies produced in response to infection.
The development of COVID-19 tests was a major public health priority during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic. In January 2020, scientists from China published the first genetic sequences of SARS-CoV-2 via virological.org, [3] a "hub for prepublication data designed to assist with public health activities and research".

A COVID-19 Rapid Antigen test(top) with a Covid-19 Rapid Antigen and a Influenza A&B Rapid Antigen Test(bottom) A rapid antigen test (RAT), sometimes called a rapid antigen detection test (RADT), antigen rapid test (ART), or loosely just a rapid test, is a rapid diagnostic test suitable for point-of-care testing that directly detects the presence or absence of an antigen.
Point-of-care testing ( POCT ), also called near-patient testing or bedside testing, is defined as medical diagnostic testing at or near the point of care —that is, at the time and place of patient care. [1] [2] This contrasts with the historical pattern in which testing was wholly or mostly confined to the medical laboratory, which entailed ...
