Viral COVID-19 Test

A viral test is a nasal swab test that looks for evidence of an active infection. If you are experiencing upper respiratory symptoms consistent with those of COVID-19 (cough, fever, body aches, fatigue, recent loss of taste), a PCR or antigen test can determine if you have coronavirus. A PCR test checks for the virus genetic material, while an antigen test looks for specific proteins on a virus surface. We offer both, with the rapid producing results in as little as 15 minutes while the nasal PCR results usually return within 1-3 days.

COVID-19 Antibody Test

COVID-19 is a virus that primarily spreads through airborne respiratory droplets, close contact, and contaminated surfaces. Most cases of COVID-19 range from mild illness although there have been reported cases of severe infection that requires hospitalization. There is no treatment for COVID-19, other than supportive care and with the vaccine now available we hope numbers will decline.

Understanding COVID-19

At Southshore Urgent Care, we are committed to maintaining the highest degree of professionalism and cleanliness.

The health and safety of our patients and staff is a top priority. We have implemented new measures to maximize these efforts including but not limited to:

All surfaces (doorknobs, exam tables, drawers, etc.) are wiped down using 90% alcohol after each visit and a nightly complete clinic sanitization is performed with hospital grade disinfectant.
We have hand sanitizer, gloves and masks available free of charge for all patients and family members.
All staff and patients are required to wear appropriate PPE and we enforce a no tolerance policy for those who do not follow said guidelines.
We have hospital grade 3 stage UVC and carbon filters in all of our waiting rooms to assure the cleanest air possible.
We have reduced seating in the waiting area to ensure proper social distancing.
We have fully integrated telemedicine options available. Patients can be effortlessly cared for over the phone for minor complaints limiting the amount of exposure and traffic.
