What is a PCR test? PCR stands for polymerase chain reaction. This test looks for remnants of the virus in your body by checking the presence of RNA in a swab sample from the nose or throat. RNA is genetic material of the virus, after a ‘reagent’ is added to the virus, this forms a ‘chain reaction’ which then causes the virus to multiply making it easier to detect by the scientists in the lab. This test can only tell us if the virus is CURRENTLY in your body. This is sometimes referred to as the Do you HAVE IT test?
