Santos Urgent Care, with offices in Mulberry Grove, Lake Sumter Landing, and Colony Professional area, offers both PRC testing for the active virus and anti-body testing.

You don't need to be symptomatic and don't need permission from your primary care physician.

Cost is covered by most types of health insurance, including Medicare, and the copay likely covered by your Medicare supplement.

You can just walk in, but if you have active symptoms they want you to call ahead 888-693-2340. But you can still get tested.

I was tested on a recent Saturday and got the results the following Tuesday (thankfully, no evidence I had been exposed to the virus).
