PCR testing and Paxlovid treatment for COVID

​

The following higher-risk groups are eligible to be tested for COVID by PCR and assessed for antiviral treatments, such as Paxlovid:

​

• Individuals aged 18 and over who are immunocompromised (have an immune system that is weakened by a health condition or medications);

• Individuals aged 70 and over;

• Individuals aged 60 and over with fewer than three vaccine doses; and

• Individuals aged 18 and over with fewer than three vaccine doses and at least one risk condition (e.g., a chronic medical condition)

 

Anyone who is eligible for an assessment is now also eligible for a PCR test at any testing centre.

​

If you are unsure if you meet the criteria for treatment should you have COVID, we suggest this COVID-19 antiviral treatment screener.

 

Rapid antigen testing - buccal and nasal technique

 

In order to increase the validity of the rapid antigen testing, it is recommended to do a buccal and nasal sample.
