Instead, please call us at (619) 456-0033 for an appointment with us. This will help you protect your family, and it will also protect our staff and other patients.

Over the phone or via the internet, one of our providers will be able to provide the professional evaluation you'll need.

If you require testing, we'll be able to provide either an in-person test or a curbside test.

What Is The Test Used To Diagnose Someone With The Coronavirus?

Please remember that the protocol for coronavirus testing is to provide a phone or video-chat evaluation of a patient's symptoms first, and then to provide any necessary treatment either in-person or at-curbside. The tests used for coronavirus include the antibody test and the viral test. The antibody test can determine whether a patient has had an infection, and the viral test can determine whether a patient currently has an infection. This viral test for diagnosis is called the nasal pharyngeal swab. A swab is inserted into the nasal cavity, and then a sample from the swab is tested.

What Are The Symptoms Of The Covid-19 Disease?

If you think you or a family member might have the symptoms of the COVID-19 disease, then you may need a test. Please remember that good hygiene and social distancing are necessary, and call our clinic or contact us online. We'll get you booked in for a visit. Also, we ask that you try to understand that testing locations like ours have a limited supply of testing kits, so they must be kept available for patients who really need them like hospitalized patients, healthcare workers, and patients with the more serious symptoms.

The common symptoms of the coronavirus include fever, tiredness, and a dry cough. Less common but more serious symptoms can include shortness of breath/difficulty breathing, chest pressure/pain, and loss of speech/movement. Any common or serious symptoms necessitate staying at home but also seeking medical attention. If the symptoms are not life-threatening, then you can call us at AFC Urgent Care Santee.

A person with the coronavirus might not show any symptoms at all, so if you and your family are seemingly symptom-free, it's still important to limit interaction, take the standard precautions, and follow the guidance of your local health officials.
