COVID-19 Active Infection

This anterior nares (nasal) swab collection kit, which is authorized by the FDA under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)*, allows you to collect your sample to be tested at our laboratory. This test is used to screen for COVID-19, an illness caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.

  • At-Home Collection: You can collect an upper respiratory nasal sample at home using the collection kit we will send to you. This collection kit will be sent to your home via FedEx® at no additional charge. Detailed instructions on how to collect your sample are included in the collection kit. Also included are a prepaid FedEx overnight shipping label and envelope that you can use to securely ship your sample to our lab for testing.

  • Drive-Thru Collection: You can visit a drive-thru location for observed self-collection of a nasal swab sample. You will swab your nose on-site while in your vehicle, observed by a trained healthcare professional to ensure the sample is collected correctly, and drop the sealed sample into a container on your way out of the drive-thru location.

NOTE: Before you complete your purchase, you must schedule an appointment if you select this option. Select the location, date, and time that works best for you. Drive-thru locations may be limited or unavailable in some areas, and collection hours may vary by location.

This test does not require fasting and is only available for persons 18 years of age or older.


About COVID-19


COVID-19 is highly contagious. Cases of COVID-19 range from mild to severe. Most people infected with this virus have mild symptoms. Some people who are infected don’t have any symptoms and don’t feel sick but can still transmit the virus to others. More severe cases of COVID-19 have been seen in older adults and those with weakened immune systems or pre-existing health issues. However, serious illness can also occur in younger adults.

IMPORTANT: Please seek immediate medical care if you have signs of a serious medical condition.


These include, but are not limited to, persistent fever (lasting longer than 48 hours) greater than 102°F or a persistent low-grade fever, severe shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, continuous pain or pressure in the chest, severe coughing spells or coughing up blood, irregular heartbeat, confusion, blue lips or face, dizziness, lightheadedness, feeling too weak to stand, feeling very tired or lethargic, slurred speech or seizures, persistent vomiting or diarrhea, or feeling not well enough to stay home.
