You can order free tests and test yourself at home unless you need it for work, travel, etc. You can order free tests monthly.
COVID.gov/tests - Free at-home COVID-19 tests Locally, I would check with CVS and Walgreens. |

With my wife having Emphysema, she call her PCP and lung doctor to get advice. The lung doctors office didn't call back, and her PCP office told her to use Tylenol and any cough syrup labeled DM. Covid doesn't appear to be a high concern among local physicians. |

Question: Does CVS advertise the results this quick or were you lucky. Walgreens is 24 to 48 hours......which could be nerve racking with a cruise in 48 hours.

Walgreens Rapid NAAT Test provides results in 2 hrs. The user the Abbott Rapid ID.
COVID-19 Testing & Locations | Walgreens Find Care WinDixie offeres a rapid antigen + flu test with results in 15 min. This test is similar to the home tests but may be acceptible for a cruise if witnessed by a pharmacy. Point of Care Testing | Winn-Dixie Antigen testing is generally accurate for detecting active infection. False negatives are possible. NAAT will have a lower false negative rate. |

Other than these new pills which might or might not help all you can do is manage the symptoms and drink plenty of liquids. Good luck. |

When I went out of the country in mid-April I got the rapid antigen test & results on the spot at Villages Discount Pharmacy in Freedom Plaza on Rte 44. That is a strip mall close to the new hotel & heath center & Wolfgang Puck's. (352) 492-9333 and
Village Discount Pharmacy | Wildwood, FL | Good Neighbor Pharmacy I would call to make sure they're still giving them and if they require an appointment. They are lab certified.

FOR SOME PEOPLE maybe. For others it is very serious and of high concern. My PCP is very concerned about me catching it, and strongly recommends periodic testing and continued use of masks whenever I am around people in indoor settings. And social distancing in outside areas. She doesn't get paid any more for that advice, she is in fact most interested in not seeing me any more than absolutely required. I get all my healthcare a the VA. It is common to generalize our experiences to the general population, but it is bad advice in general to do that. Each should talk to their physician and get advice based on their person health and condition. |

Apparently would have to say we have symptoms to get referral and not prepared to lie to save a few bucks.
