How long does it take to get the results from a coronavirus test?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That depends: An on-site rapid swab test checking for viral RNA might provide resutls in 15 to 45 minutes. Other tests may require 3 to 4 days for results. However, with that said, I know of situations where it has taken two weeks to get COVID 19 test results.
