Our urgent care facility offers PCR coronavirus testing for patients. We are required to complete a medical evaluation prior to testing. Tests are sent to a central laboratory location and results are available within 24 – 48 hours.
Please note on March 1, our urgent care locations will resume testing patients without COVID-19 symptoms for return to work, school or play.
If you have taken a home antigen test that is positive, you do not need a confirmatory PCR test and you should quarantine according to the CDC guidance.
