COVID-19 Testing
Visit our Urgent Care for your COVID-19 symptoms or possible exposure to COVID-19. We offer PCR and rapid testing with an average 24-48 hour result turnaround time at our Urgent Care and other primary care clinic locations as well. Testing options can vary based on exposure status and symptoms.
If you are concerned about possible exposure to COVID-19, please self-isolate and contact your primary care provider to determine your best next steps. Not everyone needs to be tested immediately, the time frame of when you should be tested is dependent upon your type of exposure. Typically, it is best to complete the test 4-6 days after exposure, unless symptoms present sooner.
Visit the Centers for Disease Control website to learn about the testing requirements. Testing requirements can vary based on vaccination status, symptoms, and exposure.
Not sure when to isolate or quarantine Dubuque County has put together a great resource with guidelines to follow.
To help prevent the spread of all viruses, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends:
- Wear a mask when social distancing measures can not be followed.
- Stay home if you are sick.
- Self-isolate/quarantine after exposure or if you have been tested for COVID-19; remain quarantined until you have a confirmed result back and then for the appropriate timeframe as stated by your healthcare provider.
- Cover your nose and mouth with your elbow or a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
- Thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.
- Avoid touching your face, eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Disinfect & clean commonly touched surfaces and objects.
