Guidance for Routine and Repeat COVID-19 Testing As an Emergency Medical Facility, we are unable to see non-sick patients for routine COVID-19 testing.  We DO test and treat patients who have emergency exposures to COVID-19 or emergency symptoms of COVID-19.  Patients should contact their primary physician or seek other community resources for routine or repeat testing. Following is additional information about repeat testing: If you have previously tested negative, you may consider retesting at Beaumont Emergency Hospital in the following situations: You develop additional or worsening symptoms since the time of initial testing You have persistent symptoms related to COVID-19 You experience another emergency exposure to COVID-19 that might lead to an emergency medical condition If you have previously tested positive and wish to discontinue home isolation, we are not recommending retesting. Rather, that you follow the CDC guidelines for ending home isolation. These can be found here. Retesting for work-return should be arranged through your primary physician and not through an emergency room. You may also seek community resources for work-return testing. If you have previously tested positive and you have symptoms of a new infection, you should be evaluated by a physician.  The physician will determine if you need to be tested for a particular virus or bacterial infection.  In very rare cases, a person may become sick again with COVID-19 even after recovering from a previous illness.
