Perhaps you have been feeling sick, or maybe you’re trying to be proactive if you’re going to an event soon and you want to get a COVID-19 test.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Public schools' superintendents in South Florida are preparing to put to use thousands of rapid antigen tests for coronavirus screenings in high-risk congregate settings. A little more than 37,000 students are back in Broward classrooms, but the district has only received about 5,700 rapid tests. There are molecular tests, such as the RT-PCR tests, that detect the virus’s genetic material. There are also antigen tests, such as the Abbott rapid tests, that detect proteins on the surface of the coronavirus. Priority testing should not be considered rapid testing sites.
