Symptoms
COVID-19 is a respiratory illness caused by a virus, and it can feel a lot like a cold or the flu. Because the symptoms overlap so much, a test is the only way to know which one you have.
Some people have mild symptoms or none at all. If you’re older or live with a condition like diabetes or heart disease, test early and call us so we can talk about next steps.
Test types
Both tests look for the virus itself, but they differ in speed, sensitivity and where the sample is processed.
| Rapid COVID test | PCR test | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it’s processed | At the clinic | Sent to an outside lab |
| How fast | Usually during your visit | Often 24 to 36 hours, sometimes 2 to 3 business days |
| How it’s collected | Nose swab | Nasopharyngeal (deep nose) swab |
| Best for | A quick answer when you have symptoms | Confirming a result, early or mild cases, and travel, school or work requirements |
| Keep in mind | A negative result early in an illness may need a repeat test or a PCR | More sensitive, but you wait longer for the answer |
Not sure which one you need? Tell the front desk your symptoms and when they started, and the provider will help you choose.
Where to go
Most people with COVID-19 can be tested and cared for at a primary care clinic, but some warning signs need emergency care.
Mild to moderate symptoms, testing after an exposure, travel or work testing, and checkups for people at higher risk. Walk in at 15030 Highway 6.
Talk through symptoms, test results and what to do next from home, which also helps keep others from getting sick.
Trouble breathing, chest pain or pressure, new confusion, bluish lips or being hard to wake up. Call 911.
Testing
A test is most useful when it’s timed right. A negative result doesn’t always rule out COVID-19, especially in the first day or two of symptoms.
Run on-site for a fast answer. Good for people who already feel sick and want to know what they’re dealing with.
Collected with a nasopharyngeal swab and sent to a lab. It picks up smaller amounts of virus, which helps early in an illness or when a rapid test is negative.
Checks a single sample for several respiratory viruses at once, useful when COVID, flu and other bugs are all going around.

Care
Most people with COVID-19 recover at home with rest, fluids and over-the-counter medicine for fever and aches. Your provider can tell you what’s safe to take with your other medicines and how long to keep your distance from others.
Some patients, especially older adults and people with chronic conditions, may benefit from prescription treatment that works best when started early. That’s one more reason not to put off testing if you’re at higher risk.
