Ok this
What kind of tests are available?
A: Most are offering the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test, which the medical community considers highly accurate. (Doug Satzman, chief executive of XpresSpa, which runs XpresCheck, calls it “the gold standard.”) Tampa is also administering the rapid antigen test, which BayCare’s website says “can provide peace of mind for travelers wanting to be sure they aren’t infectious” but warns that it may not excuse you from a locale’s mandatory quarantine. XpresCheck has three types of tests: PCR; blood antibody, which helps determine whether you had covid; and rapid molecular test. Oakland only provides the rapid test. Be aware that some states and countries do not accept this test, which is not as precise as the PCR.
