Passport Health announces the addition of the COVID-19 Nasal Swab Test for travelers and individuals returning to work and school.
ROSLYN HEIGHTS, NEW YORK — Passport Health New York is pleased to announce that they are now offering the COVID-19 nasal swab test to travelers who need proof of a negative Covid-19 test or a Fit-to-Fly Certificate for travel. The nasal swab test is also available for individuals in need of a negative test result in order to return to the workforce. They also offer the IgG Antibody Test at their Roslyn Heights location.
The PCR nasal swab test is sent to either LabCorp or Enzo Labs for processing. Both tests are authorized by the FDA under EUA guidelines.
COVID-19 IgG antibody testing, also known as serology testing, checks for a type of antibody called immunoglobulin G (IgG). If you have been exposed to the virus that causes COVID-19, your body typically produces IgG antibodies as part of the immune response to the virus.
