Test results

Both positive and negative test results will be uploaded to your Patient Portal environment on www.digilugu.ee the following business day. If you don´t have access to the portal, we may notify you by phone.

In the case of a positive test result, our chief medical officer will reach out to you.  

IgG antibody testing shows the counterreaction your body has had after coming into contact with the virus. Most people develop antibodies between the second and third week of the illness after developing symptoms.

It is possible to have the COVID-19 disease, caused by the coronavirus, without having any symptoms or displaying only mild symptoms. This can be detected by analyzing the blood for antibodies.

Even though the existence of antibodies indicates that the person has had COVID-19, there is currently insufficient information on whether the antibodies grant immunity.

The blood used to perform the antibody analysis is drawn from the vein.

Make a preliminary registration by calling +372 605 1500 or sending an e-mail to estonia@qvalitas.ee

Patient's manual:

• There is no need to refrain from eating or drinking before the test.
• Visitors will have their temperature taken before the appointment and they will be asked to fill in a questionnaire on their health status.

Result:

The results are uploaded to your online Patient Portal digilugu.ee, which is accessible with an ID card.
