Upon arrival: When arriving on site please call the scheduling hotline to pre-register for testing. After registering, you will follow signs for testing. Please maintain social distancing while waiting for testing.

 During testing: The site will be operated by clinical staff who will swab your nose. The sample is then put into a sterile container to be sent for testing. You will receive an after-visit summary card with follow-up information.
