Are you are planning to travel internationally in the next 5 days?

All testing is molecular diagnostic. Not antibody or antigen. All DPH tests will detect the COVID-19 variants (including Omicron). Our testing is only positive/negative for COVID-19. DPH can not determine what variant you tested positive for.
