\nACT Against COVID\, the Alliance for Comprehensive Testing\, is a diverse alliance committed to educating the public about the value of\, and how to access\, COVID-19 antigen and antibody testing.
\n
\nAntigen and antibody tests play an essential role in reducing the spread of COVID-19. They are scalable complements to PCR testing\, produce actionable results\, and are a critical part of minimizing the health
\nand economic impacts of the pandemic. Both tests enhance public health efficiency&mdash\;antigen tests can screen large numbers of people and produce results quickly\, while antibody tests eliminate redundancy
\nin testing\, indicate COVID-19 prevalence in the population\, and inform healthcare decisions for individuals.

\n\n

There are two \;kinds of tests being used to detect current infections of COVID-19 (also known as SARS-CoV-2): \;PCR (polymerase chain reaction) or molecular nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) \;are primarily used as diagnostic tests for symptomatic patients or those with known or suspected exposure.
\n
\nLed by Quest Diagnostics\, members include clinicians\, public health officials\, elected officials\, businesses\, and community organizations who are united in the conviction that comprehensive testing solutions\, along with mask wearing\, handwashing\, and social distancing\, are an essential component of the fight against COVID-19.
\n
\nThe alliance members use their unique platforms to empower people with information about testing to help slow the spread of COVID-19 and return to daily activities responsibly. By educating and empowering the public\, we will leverage testing to improve health outcomes and direct health policy decisions.
