Where to Get COVID-19 Testing in Bixby Knolls Long Beach, CA

If someone is experiencing the symptoms of a viral infection, they should be tested. With the coronavirus, the minor, most common symptoms are:

• Fever
• Tiredness
• Dry cough

The symptoms above are usually mild, but can be more serious. Also, it’s possible for a person to experience severe symptoms like:

• Shortness of breath
• Breathing difficulty
• Chest pressure
• Chest pain
• Loss of speech
• Loss of movement

Any symptoms might not show themselves until 2 to 14 days after a person gets infected, or a person might not even show any symptoms at all. Also, you and the ones you care about may seem symptom-free, but it’s still important to do social distancing, wash your hands regularly, and take the other precautions recommended by your local health officials.

If you or someone you care about is currently experiencing any of the minor, common symptoms of viral infection, then testing is recommended. If anyone is experiencing symptoms that are or may be life-threatening, then calling 911 is absolutely necessary.

Actually, there are multiple tests for the coronavirus. These include the antibody test, the instant test, and the standard viral test. With the antibody test, a patient can be checked to see whether they already had a coronavirus infection. This can help medical professionals track the spread of the virus locally, and may even help them find antibodies to the virus. This test is for people who currently don’t have symptoms.

There’s also the instant test which can check a patient immediately for a current viral infection. However, this test is in limited supply and for emergency use only.

The third test is the standard viral test. It can easily check whether a patient currently has the virus. The method used for this test is a simple nasal swab. If you or someone you care about currently has minor symptoms, then this is the test you’ll need, and Reddy Urgent Care can provide it. However, please do not come see us in-person, as that could put our other patients and our staff at risk for infection, and even put you at risk for infection if you’re currently not sick. Instead, please call us. We will evaluate your symptoms remotely, and if necessary, set you up with a phone with one of our doctors. And if testing is necessary, we’ll invite you over to our clinic for safe curbside testing.
