At GS Labs Testing, our team of healthcare professionals understands the needs of communities across the country when it comes to COVID-19 testing. We seek to make the process simple, since this is likely one of the most stressful times for anyone this year. Watch the video below to learn more about our quick and convenient testing process.
COVID-19 is a serious disease and if you have urgent concerns, you should contact a healthcare provider.
Harvard Health Publishing has recently provided some guidance for people who have been exposed to another with COVID-19.
With the wide range of COVID-19 symptoms and severity, guidance depends on a person’s current situation.
Most second steps are to isolate to slow the spread, just in case you did catch it. COVID-19 may appear as symptomatic or asymptomatic so a person’s time with coronavirus may range from no impact to moderate sickness all the way to heightened respiratory problems (if you feel you should get medical advice, contact a local medical advisor).
To ensure peace of mind, many decide to get a COVID-19 test. There are many COVID-19 testing facilities nearby that can facilitate your needs. Getting results, whether positive or negative, provide clarity in one direction or another and is often enough to determine if a person should quarantine for 14 days or not.
For individuals who do test positive, it is best to notify others you have been in contact with recently so they can self-monitor and decide whether they need to get a COVID-19 test.

You will be greeted by an GS Labs staff member to confirm your appointment time, name, and date of birth. Subject to available testing supplies, our staff member will explain the two different tests and confirm the test you’ve requested.
Following confirmation, a registered nurse will visit your vehicle and will conduct a nasal swab or finger prick to collect the sample for testing. All samples are analyzed onsite by GS Labs.
You will receive an email when your test results are ready. Approximately one hour after testing, be sure to check your junk/spam folders, as the email may be there.

You believe you may have come in contact with someone who recently tested positive for COVID-19. Where do you go, what do you do? How do you get tested? GS Labs is utilizing rapid antigen tests and rapid IgM/IgG (antibody) tests to provide you a test – and peace of mind – in as soon as 20 minutes.
Rapid antigen tests are recommended for individuals with signs or symptoms consistent with COVID-19. They are also recommended for individuals who are asymptomatic but have recently been exposed or suspected they have been exposed to someone with COVID-19.
Rapid antigen tests perform best when the person is tested in the early stages of infection with SARS-CoV-2 when viral load is generally highest.
The antigen tests are designed to detect proteins from the virus that causes COVID-19 in respiratory specimens. This requires conducting a nasal or nasopharyngeal swab.
Rapid IgM/IgG test is an antibody test, which will help identify if an individual has antibodies to the virus that causes COVID-19. This testing is best for individuals with a previous infection due to your body’s ability to create antibodies one to three weeks after infection. *If you are currently showing symptoms of COVID-19, the antigen test is recommended.
IgM antibodies can develop as soon as 48 hours after exposure, indicating recent infection.
The rapid IgM/IgG tests take a sample of your blood via finger prick to collect a sample for testing. If you test positive from the antibody test, this shows that you may have previously had COVID-19 or you have the antibodies from an infection with a different virus from the same family of coronaviruses. If you test negative, you may not have had COVID-19 or you may have a current infection that hasn’t had enough time for your body to mount an antibody response. For further questions, you should speak with your doctor.
At GS Labs, we offer both antigen and antibody testing and can provide results in as soon as 20 minutes. Simply book online in advance and select one of two payment options: out of pocket or direct billing to insurance with no out of pocket cost.
For your convenience, we’re extending our hours of operation for the COVID-19 Rapid testing. You can book an online appointment time between 8 am-8 pm, seven days a week.
While the coronavirus is still in our communities, it is likely at some point you will become concerned you have it and seek testing. You may feel sick or have come in contact with someone who recently tested positive for COVID-19. According to the Nebraska Department of Health, approximately 75-80 percent of patients with COVID-19 either have no symptoms or have minor symptoms. If you’re worried you are infected, you are likely full of questions. Where do you go, what do you do? How do you get tested? GS Labs Testing is utilizing rapid antigen tests and rapid IgM/IgG (antibody) tests to provide you a test – and peace of mind – in as soon as 20 minutes.
