SO I GOT NEWS THAT THERE IS A FACILITY IN NEW BERN,NC THAT DOES RAPID TESTING FOR PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY MAY HAVE THE CORONAVIRUS! SO YA BOY KAOSS DECIDED TO PULL UP ON THEM TO SEE IF THIS WAS TRUE AND HERE IS WHAT I FOUND OUT! SIGNS & SYMPTOMS OF COVID-19: COUGH, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, SORE THROAT, FATIGUE, BODY ACHES, FEVER, HEADACHE!
RAPID TESTING PROCEDURE: BOTH NOSTRILS ARE SWABBED AND SIT IN A TEST TUBE WITH REAGENT FOR 60 SECONDS. THEN MIXTURE IN TEST TUBE IS ADDED TO SARS ANTIGEN FIA MACHINE. RESULTS CALCULATE IN 16 MINUTES!
CURRENTLY ONLY JACKSONVILLE ON WESTERN BY HOSPITAL, NEW BERN, AND SWANSBORO OFFER RAPID TESTING, BUT BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK THEY WILL HAVE IT AT ALL LOCATIONS. NEW PATIENTS COST $125 FOR OFFICE VISIT AND TESTING $35. Total $160, EXISTING PATIENTS $140.
YOU MUST BE SHOWING SYMPTOMS OR HAVE DIRECT EXPOSURE TO SOMEONE WHO HAS TESTED POSITIVE FOR CORONA VIRUS IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR RAPID TESTING.
MED FIRST CAN ALSO DO SEND OUT TESTING FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT SHOWING SYMPTOMS AND THOSS RESULTS TAKE 5-10 DAYS.
WHEN I ASKED MED FIRST HOW MANY PEOPLE COME IN DAILY TO BE TESTED? I WAS TOLD,
ON AVERAGE 20-30 RAPID TESTS ARE DONE EACH DAY AT THE MED FIRST FACILITY IN NEW BERN,NC. 2002 SOUTH GLENBURNIE DR, NEW BERN,NC. SHOUT OUT TO ALL THE MED FIRST WORKERS WHO RISK THEIR OWN LIVES DAILY BEING ON THE FRONTLINE!!
