Is there a test for COVID-19?

There are three kinds of tests for COVID-19: molecular/PCR, antigen, and antibody.

The molecular/PCR tests tell you if you have COVID-19 infection at the time of the test.

The antigen tests tell you if you have COVID-19 proteins at the time of the test.

The antibody tests tells you if you have antibodies for COVID-19, which may mean that you were infected with the virus sometime in the past.
