WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TESTING FOR CORONAVIRUS

March 25, 2020

There are very limited testing supplies across the nation. Not everyone with symptoms has to be tested, but everyone with symptoms SHOULD self quarantine for 14 days. If you are young and healthy and symptoms are mild, stay home and self-quarantine. You may be uncomfortable but not in danger.


If you are concerned about your symptoms, call your physician for an initial phone screening. Here are additional tips from Ascension - St. Vincent:

Call ahead: To help prevent the spread of disease, the CDC recommends people with cold-like symptoms, call ahead before going to a healthcare facility to let the staff know about any symptoms and recent travel. Healthcare workers will work with your public health department to see if you need to be tested for COVID-19.

Consider virtual care: To help prevent the spread of disease and meet the needs of our patients and the communities we serve, Ascension is helping to improve access to care from the comfort of your own home. For online urgent care from your computer or mobile device, Ascension Online Care is available 24/7.

Medical Emergency: In the case of a medical emergency or if you are experiencing severe symptoms requiring immediate attention, call 911.
