When to go to Ample Urgent Primary Care for Cold / Flu / Covid-19
Coughing, fever, aches and sneezing may be symptoms of a cold, flu, or Covid-19. Ample Urgent Care will test to get you the correct diagnosis and treatment you need.
Ample Urgent Primary Care is able to perform COVID-19 rapid swab testing on patients who have been exposed to COVID-19 or are exhibiting symptoms of the virus. Results from rapid diagnostic tests are available same-day
Why Should I Get The Rapid Test?
After exposure to COVID-19, wait between 5-7 days for rapid testing. This allows for a more accurate result and avoids a false negative. The rapid test gives patients results quicker than standard NAAT/PCR testing, which can take up to three days.
If your test returns with a Positive Result, you should begin self-isolating immediately if you have not done so already. Contact anyone you have been in close contact or proximity with to inform them to get tested. Be prepared to self-isolate for at least two weeks until you are asymptomatic and no longer contagious.
If your test results are Negative For Covid-19, continue following local health and safety guidelines. Maintain a distance of six feet from others who do not live with you, and wear a mask or other protective face covering over your nose and mouth when out in public places.
Flu shots are a great way to protect yourself against flu strains that are likely to be prevalent this year. They only take a few seconds to administer, and they can keep you and your family from missing school or work due to illness – not to mention, they protect against some of the more dangerous side effects of the flu.
