kathy

I'm sure Wawa would love those calls.😩

It's still open appears to close by 4 or 5 pm though

I do not understand. If the masks work, why not just wear one while visiting?

Also get the antibody test. You may have antibodies but were asymptomatic. And wear a mask social distance when you visit. Ask the person you are visiting what they are comfortable with. Maybe sitting outside vs a closed in space.

My results took 11 days to get back. Also, it's a snap shot. You could be covid free, then 2 days later you have it.

I'd say just make sure you aren't feeling sick, wash hands, wear a mask, and stay back 6 feet or more.

Or do a video call or zoom talk.

My husband and I were both tested at the Walgreens by Lake Deaton Publix & Rohan Rec center. Go online to Walgreens to register. We did so the day before the test. It is a drive thru, self administered test. We were emailed results in 2 hours. My tip-register for the first appointment after their lunch break. Super fast! Second tip from our daughter in healthcare at Columbia Presbyterian in NYC: blow your nose right before doing the swab. You’ll get the most accurate sample without digging up there for brain matter. 🤪

The Villages Health offers the quick test takes 15 minutes to get results.

From personal, recent experience, I know Walgreens emails results to you in 2 hours.

Get a blood oxygen sensor. They cost about $15-$20. One symptom specific to Covid-19 is a drop in blood oxygen level. Any reading below 95 is cause for concern, but the virus will cause a drop to around 90.

Where can I go to get one? Also, if anyone has some experience to share with me as far as how quickly the results were available, that would also be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Call 352-689-4675 to schedule test with Sumter County Dept of Health. It’s free.

The one next to WAWA on 441 near Cracker Barrel is still open and there is no appointment needed. I didn't get mine there but I got my results in 1 day.

Sugar952 11-06-2020 09:25 AM

Walgreens on Kristine way , they tell you you will get your results within 72 hours but we had them in about 30 minutes , it’s an easy test you just have to swap both nostrils 10 times with a long cotton swab and go in 1 inch to get a good sample, you can make an appointment on line or go there they sometimes give them without an appointment good luck and prayers for your friend

You can go to your Doctor or I think the clinic across from Freedom Pointe is doing covid testing. Rapid testing can take about 2 or 3 days but not always accurate. Swab testing not sure how long but much better results.
