COVID Testing of Illinois

COVID Testing of Illinois is your trusted local provider for comprehensive COVID-19 testing services, conveniently located at 5100 Touhy Ave in Skokie, IL. Our facility is dedicated to ensuring the health and safety of our community by offering accurate and timely COVID-19 testing options.

We specialize in the CareStart COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test, which is FDA EUA Authorized and proudly made in the USA. This test boasts an impressive 88.4% sensitivity and 100% specificity, significantly higher than many other tests available, which typically range between 60-70% accuracy. The rapid antigen test can detect acute COVID-19 infections by identifying specific viral antigens, with results available in approximately 15 minutes.

For a more definitive diagnosis, especially for symptomatic individuals, we provide the PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) test. The PCR test is considered the "gold standard" for COVID-19 detection due to its high accuracy. Using a nasopharyngeal swab, this test delivers results within 24-72 hours and is essential for travel, airline requirements, pre-operative procedures, and return-to-school protocols.

In many cases, a combination of both the rapid antigen and PCR tests is recommended, especially for employers, travel purposes, and return-to-work requirements. If you exhibit symptoms, we strongly advise undergoing both tests to ensure a comprehensive assessment.
