[Villages Kahuna]

I believe all The Villages Heslth offices are testing and you don’t have to be a patient of their doctors. I also think the tests are free.

Call ahead to verify.

Got one yesterday. Any of the villages health centers even if not a patient. Must have appt. results in 2 hours. Also Walgreens, cvs and paramount urgent care. Do search on next door.

If positive, quarantine until you test negative using the highest reliability test. Fast and cheap tests may not provide the highest reliability. Sick COVID nurses are still getting the swab test. Results in 24-48 hours. If you test positive with a fast test, always do a recheck with a better test. Check with you doctor on this if it makes you feel better.
The chances of being exposed if you distance and mask are much, much less than those who don’t. Test, distance, and assume many of the people walking around here are positive .. because the numbers are still climbing in Florida. We are in the third amplification stage and because of attitudes, it likely will keep climbing. Food for thought.

Got tested at Colony within the Villages at noon and had results by 1:30 via email. Easy, drive through process.

I saw a tent in the Colony Rec Center parking lot, with a few folks waiting in line, the other day. Is that what you are talking about?

OP, wants to visit a relative so I understand why he would want to be tested for COVID 19. If he is careful (quarantines) following the test and visits relative following a negative result he would have a “peace of mind” visit with his relative. Nothing is perfect or 100%. I was tested for personal reasons and had negative results within 24 hours. CVS in Wildwood is my recommendation. Good luck.

And folk wonder why the virus spreads and people die. Why take the risk

A week or so there was a test site set up by the Sheriff's annex on 466. It was free. Take a ride up on a week day. They called with my results a few days later.

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.

Go to TVHRapidtest.com. Free testing, same day results. Multiple locations. We have used this multiple times.

Because they want the test done

Paramount on the corner of 466 and Rolling Acres Need an appointment. It is a rapid test site

I have friends who used this Walgreens, 10 days and they had to go over there to finally get results. In the mean time they went to another site and got retested...this one got results that day, NEGATIVE. The results at Walgreens - first they couldn’t find them then Positive.

Unless your going right to the visit and don’t have any human contact or touch anything I don’t see the point

I go to help with my husband's care in a Memory Care Facility and I get a test every two weeks. Not required any longer, but makes me feel better. I go to the 441 Urgent Care located across 466A from Colony Plaza. Results usually take two to three days.
