Question: Are COVID-19 test results (initial and confirmation) made available to patients through the patient portal (MyChart) and is result release delayed?
Answer: The results of COVID-19 NAT testing (and later confirmation testing) are made available through MyChart with no delay. Encourage all patients to activate their patient portal account, as this method of results release can take pressure off of call centres. Physicians have the ability to manually override results release or to comment on results, just as with other test results.
