Most COVID tests are collected by a nasal swab.
If you have been referred to get a COVID test by your healthcare provider or local health department. This could include travel, large social or mass gatherings, crowded indoor settings, etc. If you are unvaccinated and participated in high-risk activities where distancing is not an option. If you have been vaccinated, or tested positive in the past 3 months and not experiencing symptoms, you do not need to be tested. Close contact is defined as within 6 feet for a total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period. If you have been in close contact with someone with confirmed COVID-19. If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 including fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, or diarrhea. The CDC currently defines four instances where COVID testing is recommended: Who should get tested for current infection The presence of COVID antibodies may help to prevent you from becoming infected with the same virus again but, because the clinical understanding of COVID-19 is still developing, it's unclear how long that protection will continue. Results can take up to 2-3 days to arrive.Īntibody testing looks for a past infection and may not reveal if you have an active COVID-19 infection because antibodies can take up to three weeks to form in your body. The majority of tests, on the other hand, are collected at the clinic on-site and then submitted to off-site labs for processing. Some tests are processed out on-site and can provide results in as little as 30 minutes. Viral COVID testing can be done in a few different ways, the most common being nose swabs, but saliva tests are becoming more popular. There are two types of coronavirus tests (COVID-19 tests) available, those that can test for a current infection (viral test) and those that can test for a past infection (antibody test). I recommend this for anyone needing testing the walk in clinics where you swab yourself or relying on the quick test mouth swab isn’t reliable, as told to me now by three of my Dr’s. So thorough! Script had been sent to my pharmacy for a new albuterol inhaler (old one is MIA) and 5 days of pred. SOB standard reason for chest X-ray and IV prednisone (took two seconds). Was experiencing shortness of breath (not at that time) with previous *** diagnosis of early stage emphysema). Share that everything so far looks great! All standard procedure. and was administered the nasal swab (24-48 hrs).Saw the Dr. No,I was not in distress.įirst the mouth swab and IV for lab work. Wow! So clean/so safe! Was immediately taken back to nice private room (the waiting room is kept empty) where I was quickly hooked up to EKG and oximetry for the whole visit. I’m so glad I went to the Beaumont ER for my covid test. I'm so happy this urgent care is available in my area as pinckney/hamburg/whitmore lake residents now have and option other that going to a hospital in Ann Arbor. The consistency of quality of care is impressive. It think it's been my 3rd or 4th visit there. Receptionists were friendly and accommodating as well. I would definitely recommend this urgent care to my friends, family, or even a stranger looking for local care. It seems that she truly cares about helping people well. She explained what was going on to the best of her knowledge with the symptoms we have and has provided us with guidance and a care plan to assist in fighting off whatever cold or virus we have. Her bedside manner and compassionate care shines through. Cinnamon has been a great provider to us at the Springfield Urgent Care. 
With covid concerns and in need of testing they were still able to accommodate me and my s/o for testing. The wait time was not bad at all! I expected to wait much longer as we were delayed for the appointment arrival time.
They are always kindly accommodating to my specific needs. I have also utilized this urgent care office multiple times for covid testing. This is a wonderful option for people who are unable to meet with their primary for urgent concerns.
