Drive-Thru Testing Center For COVID-19

Drive-Thru Testing Center For COVID-19

How Long Does The COVID-19 Test Take?

The actual test for the COVID-19 virus can be completed in just a few short minutes. You will remain seated in your vehicle throughout the entire duration of the test. A healthcare provider will come up to your car and administer the test through your window. The test is done by taking a mucus sample from both of the patient’s nostrils. The health care professional conducting your COVID-19 test will insert a thin, flexible stick with cotton at the tip into your nostril to collect a sample of mucus. A swab will be needed in both nostrils to collect an adequate amount of mucus for the test. The swab will be rotated slowly in order to maximize the amount of mucus collected from your nose.

 

Is The COVID-19 Test Painful?

A common concern for patients being tested for COVID-19 is the level of discomfort or pain associated with the test. It is very rare for patients to experience pain during the nasal swab, however, discomfort while the swab is being inserted is common. The healthcare worker administering your test will insert a special 6-inch cotton swab up both sides of your nose and move it around for about 15 seconds. Once the swab is removed you will not be left with any discomfort. If you are sensitive to discomfort tell the healthcare worker administering your test ahead of time. 

 

Why Is A Drive-Thru Testing Center For COVID-19 Better Than In-Office?

Drive-thru testing centers for COVID-19 are helping to reduce potential exposure to COVID-19. Many patients who are tested receive negative results, while others will test positive. Allowing patients to stay inside of their own vehicles helps to reduce the risk of sick patients spreading this highly contagious virus to healthy patients who are being tested at the same facility. If you are looking for a drive-thru testing center for COVID-19 in Houston, you are in the right place. Contact our team to learn more about how you can safely be tested for COVID-19 at our facility.
