Testing will be offered on a drop-in first-come, first-served basis. No appointment is necessary.
Upon arrival, patients will create an online account at everlywell.com/register and complete Boyd Health Services paperwork before getting their nasal swab from medical staff.
Patients will receive their results by phone or their online account within two-three days.
Boyd Health Services officials urge you to seek testing immediately if any of these conditions apply to you:
- You have COVID-19 symptoms such as fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath, body aches, new loss of taste, sore throat, nausea or diarrhea.
- You have been in close contact (within six feet for 15 minutes or more) with someone confirmed to have COVID-19.
- You have been informed that you are a member of a group or team that is undergoing surveillance testing.
Anyone meeting these conditions and seeking testing is also asked to submit a COVID-19 Self Report form here.
