COVID-19 Testing
As you know, most individuals who have contracted COVID-19 do not even know they’ve been exposed to it (no symptoms or minor ones). Frequent testing, especially for staff who’ve exhibited symptoms and/or who’ve been exposed to someone known to have COVID-19, not only provides additional assurance that those vulnerable seniors we’re serving are not being unknowingly exposed to this virus, but it will also benefit us and our families - keeping those we love safe by providing early detection (and treatment).
For those who are not part of a healthcare organization such as Open Door Clinic (which offers a drive through testing site), here are some local resources for you to receive COVID-19 testing (all FREE):
