Two kinds of tests are available for COVID-19: viral tests and antibody tests.

• A viral test tells you if you have a current infection.
• An antibody test tells you if you had a previous infection

An antibody test may not be able to show if you have a current infection, because it can take 1-3 weeks to make antibodies after symptoms occur. We do not know yet if having antibodies to the virus can protect someone from getting infected with the virus again, or how long that protection might last.

Who should be tested

To learn if you have a current infection, viral tests are used. But not everyone needs this test.

• Most people will have mild illness and can recover at home without medical care and may not need to be tested.
• CDC has guidance for who should be tested, but decisions about testing are made by state and localexternal icon health departments or healthcare providers.
• If you have symptoms of COVID-19 and want to get tested, call your healthcare provider first.
• You can also visit your state or local health department’s website to look for the latest local information on testing.
• Although supplies of tests are increasing, it may still be difficult to find a place to get tested.

Results

• If you test positive for COVID-19 by a viral test, know what protective steps to take if you are sick or caring for someone.
• If you test negative for COVID-19 by a viral test, you probably were not infected at the time your sample was collected. However, that does not mean you will not get sick. The test result only means that you did not have COVID-19 at the time of testing.

Regular digital thermometers use electronic heat sensors to record body temperature. These thermometers can be used in the rectum, mouth or armpit.

Armpit temperatures are usually the least accurate. Rectal temperatures provide the best readings for infants, especially those 3 months or younger, as well as children up to age 3. For older children and adults, oral readings are usually accurate — as long as the mouth is closed while the thermometer is in place.

If you plan to use a digital thermometer to take both oral and rectal temperatures, you’ll need to get two digital thermometers and label one for oral use and one for rectal use. Don’t use the same thermometer in both places.

The pros:

• Most digital thermometers can record temperatures from the mouth, armpit or rectum — often in a minute or less.
• A digital thermometer is appropriate for newborns, infants, children and adults.

The cons:

• Parents may worry about causing discomfort when taking a child’s temperature rectally.
• You need to wait 15 minutes after eating or drinking to take an oral temperature. Otherwise, the temperature of your food or drink might affect the thermometer reading.
• It can be difficult for children — or anyone who breathes through the mouth — to keep their mouths closed long enough to get an accurate oral reading.

Digital ear thermometers

Digital ear thermometers, also called tympanic thermometers, use an infrared ray to measure the temperature inside the ear canal.

The pros:

• When positioned properly, digital ear thermometers are quick and generally comfortable for children and adults.
• Digital ear thermometers are appropriate for infants older than age 6 months, older children and adults.

The cons:

• Digital ear thermometers aren’t recommended for newborns.
• Earwax or a small, curved ear canal can interfere with the accuracy of a temperature taken with a digital ear thermometer.

Digital pacifier thermometers

If your child uses a pacifier, you might want to try a digital pacifier thermometer. Your child simply sucks on the pacifier until the peak temperature is recorded.

The pro:

• Your child may not even realize you’re taking his or her temperature.

The cons:

• Digital pacifier thermometers aren’t recommended for newborns.
• For the most accurate reading, your child must hold the pacifier still in his or her mouth for about three to five minutes — which is difficult for many young children.
• Recent research doesn’t support the accuracy of temperature readings from pacifier thermometers.

Temporal artery thermometers

Temporal artery thermometers — often sold as forehead thermometers — use an infrared scanner to measure the temperature of the temporal artery in the forehead.

The pros:

• Temporal artery thermometers can record a person’s temperature quickly and are easily tolerated.
• Temporal artery thermometers are appropriate for infants older than age 3 months and for older children. New research suggests that a temporal artery thermometer also might provide accurate readings for a newborn.
• Additional research suggests that temporal artery thermometers are the most accurate alternative to rectal digital thermometers for taking a child’s temperature.

The con:

• A temporal artery thermometer may be more expensive than other types of thermometers.

Mercury thermometers

Once a staple in most medicine cabinets, mercury thermometers use mercury encased in glass to measure body temperature. Mercury thermometers are no longer recommended because they can break and allow mercury — which is toxic — to escape.

If you have a mercury thermometer, don’t throw it in the trash. Contact your local trash collection program to see if there’s a hazardous waste collection site in your area.
