Can I be screened for COVID-19 (coronavirus)?
Yes. We can ask you questions about risk factors and your condition. Based on your information, we can determine if testing is needed or give you other instructions based on your symptoms.
A risk screening is an evaluation of your health and symptoms based on guidelines from public health officials which may determine whether you meet the criteria for testing. A test would involve a swab of the inside of your nose with the sample sent to a lab for testing to see if you have the virus.
