Please do not go to the Emergency Department or Urgent Care only for a COVID-19 test. If you’re sick and seek care for your symptoms, like at a doctor’s office or urgent care, your healthcare provider will help you decide if COVID-19 testing is right for you. If you’re not sure if you should be tested, try our risk assessment tool, send a message to your care team on MyAtriumHealth, call your doctor or use one of the care options here. Your care team will let you know how and when testing will be done. If you’re getting a procedure at Atrium Health, you may be tested for COVID-19 beforehand. You’re having surgery or another procedure that requires sedation.You might be asked to show a negative test result for work, school or travel, or to attend an event where exposure to COVID-19 is a risk. You should get tested if you were around a lot of people and couldn’t stay 6 feet apart, including travel and large social gatherings. If you were recently in a large group of people and you’re not fully vaccinated.If your first test is negative, get tested again 5 to 7 days later. If you’re not fully vaccinated: Get tested and start to quarantine as soon as you find out about the exposure.You don’t need to quarantine unless you test positive.
Exposure can happen if you’re within 6 feet of someone who tests positive for COVID-19 for at least 15 minutes, even if one or both of you were wearing a mask. It’s a good idea to get tested if you feel sick, even if you’re fully vaccinated. Some symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath and loss of taste and/or smell.
