Covid Testing

What is COVID testing?

COVID testing at WithCare Clinic involves a test to determine if you’ve contracted the SARS-CoV-2 virus or COVID-19. The skilled medical staff at WithCare Clinic offer different types of COVID tests based on your symptoms and preferences. They also provide treatments that may help diminish bothersome or severe symptoms.

What symptoms can COVID-19 cause?

COVID-19 can cause the following symptoms, which often range in severity:

• Fever
• Chills
• Shortness of breath
• Difficulty breathing
• Coughing
• Fatigue
• Body or muscle aches
• Headaches
• Sore throat 
• Runny nose
• Congestion
• Loss of smell or taste
• Diarrhea
• Nausea
• Vomiting

Some people who contract COVID-19 develop severe, even life-threatening symptoms like severe shortness of breath and breathing issues. See a WithCare Clinic at the first sign of worrisome symptoms to get the treatment needed to avoid serious complications. 

Is COVID testing right for me?

COVID testing is appropriate for anyone exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 and those who’ve been exposed to someone who has tested positive for it. You might also require COVID testing for your job or before traveling.

What can I expect during COVID testing?

WithCare Clinic provides various COVID-19 tests. Your provider might take a sample of your blood, swab the inside of your nose, or test a saliva sample to determine if you have (or have been previously infected with) COVID-19. If needed, they submit your sample for a lab analysis.  

What happens after a positive COVID test?

When your WithCare Clinic provider receives your COVID-19 test results, which might be within 15-30 minutes, later the same day or the next day, they review them with you and let you know if you have (or have likely had) COVID-19.

If you test positive for COVID-19, it’s important to maintain distance from other people to avoid spreading the illness. Wash your hands often and wear a mask if necessary.

It’s also important to drink a lot of fluids, eat nutritious foods, and get plenty of sleep. Your provider might recommend you take dietary supplements, over-the-counter medications, or prescription medicines to ease bothersome symptoms and reduce your risk of complications. 

They follow up with you to ensure exceptional results, help you feel better, and refer you to another specialist for further care if needed. To reduce your risk of COVID-19 or having severe symptoms in the future, WithCare Clinic provides childhood and adult COVID-19 vaccinations.
