In New York City, people often take public transport or come in contact with contaminated surfaces. For these reasons, everyone should assume they have already been exposed to coronavirus or have come in contact with someone who is an asymptomatic carrier.
Nao Medical providers believe that only with testing, one can control this pandemic by prescribing isolation and quarantine to those who got positive COVID-19 swab test results.
If you have a family member who has lung disease or is older than 60 years or has an immunocompromised state, you may want to screen yourself with our nasal swab test for coronavirus.

What is a booster vaccine?
A booster vaccine can be quite a confusing term. It is important to understand that a booster dose and an additional dose are different from each other, depending on who is receiving it.
For people with immunocompromised conditions who are not able to build enough immunity, the third COVID vaccine dose is an extra dose that can help build stronger protection against the virus.
For patients without insurance plans, we have same-day payment rates available in all our rapid COVID test locations.

FAQ
Who should get tested for COVID-19?
You should get tested for COVID-19 if:
- you have COVID-19 symptoms
- you have been exposed to or been in close contact with a person who you know or suspect is infected with COVID-19
- close contact means within six feet for 15 minutes or more
- the COVID Alert NY app informs you that you’ve been exposed to the virus from close contact.
- you need to be screened for workplaces, schools, or events
- you are planning to travel or arriving from travel
- you are advised to get tested by a healthcare professional or a public health official
How long should I wait to take a COVID-19 test after exposure to a known or suspected case?
You should not wait to take a COVID-19 test after exposure to a known or suspected case, regardless of your vaccination status. You need to get tested at least 5 days after exposure or earlier if you have COVID symptoms.
Are there any at-home tests for COVID-19?
Yes, there are at-home tests for COVID-19 that let you do the specimen collection yourself. For more accurate results from a healthcare professional, get tested at a testing center near you.
What are the different types of COVID-19 tests?
There are at-home tests for COVID-19. You can order free tests from COVIDtests.gov or from your local health department. Home COVID tests are also available in pharmacies, retail stores, and authorized online sellers.
How accurate are COVID-19 PCR tests?
COVID-19 PCR tests are accurate and are considered the gold standard for COVID testing. This type of test is more sensitive and is mostly processed by health professionals in a laboratory.
How accurate are rapid COVID-19 tests?
Rapid COVID-19 tests are accurate enough to detect the presence of the virus in symptomatic individuals. However, if it shows a negative result despite the presence of COVID-19 symptoms, an RT-PCR test is needed to confirm it.
Can the tests determine which COVID-19 variants I have antibodies to?
COVID tests cannot determine which COVID-19 variants you have antibodies to. Besides, antibodies from previous COVID infections are not likely to protect you from any type of COVID variant.
Is it recommended to take antibody tests after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine?
It is not recommended to take antibody tests after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine to test for immunity. It is also not recommended for use to assess a person’s need for vaccination or quarantine.
What type of COVID-19 PCR test do I need to travel?
If you’re planning a trip, it’s important to check with both your airline and your destination to understand what testing program they require travelers to follow. Around 72 hours prior to departure, or well before your day of travel, check again. Read up on airline notices, new regulations and entry requirements before driving to the airport to board domestic or international flights.
Can I pay for my COVID-19 PCR test for travel without insurance?
If you have no insurance, we provide our services without insurance for self-pay patients, giving you the care when you need it most.
Are there any at-home tests for COVID-19?
