Symptoms include fever, cough and shortness of breath. The infection can range from very mild to full-blown pneumonia, with 80% of cases appearing to be mild. Symptoms may appear 2–14 days after exposure to the virus. When should I be tested? You should consider being tested if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, or if you have had a known exposure as asymptomatic cases are on the rise: Fever or chills Cough Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing Fatigue Muscle or body aches Headache New loss of taste or smell Sore throat Congestion or runny nose Nausea or vomiting Diarrhea If you are experiencing symptoms, it is recommended that you self-quarantine for 14 days or until you have received a negative test result. Quarantining and symptom monitoring should also be considered if you have traveled abroad. What warrants emergency medical attention versus a visit to a testing site? If you or someone in your household is experiencing any of the following, seek emergency medical care by calling 911 or your local emergency facility. Notify the operator that you need care for someone who has or may have COVID-19 so they can prepare accordingly: Trouble breathing Persistent pain or pressure in the chest New confusion Inability to wake or stay awake Bluish lips or face This list may not be all-inclusive. Please call a medical provider for any other severe or concerning symptoms. Older adults, immunocompromised individuals, and those with pre-existing medical conditions (e.g., diabetes, immunocompromised people, lung/heart/liver/kidney disease, neurological disorders, etc.) are most at risk for developing serious complications. What should I expect during the test? To administer a COVID-19 test, we insert a swab into the patient’s nasal passage. The procedure takes just a few seconds. Does The Centers do antibody testing? Testing is available for antibodies to determine if you have had COVID-19. This type of COVID-19 test is for individuals who think they may have had COVID-19 and do not currently have symptoms. It can take two weeks after exposure to develop antibodies. Call us to make an appointment for antibody testing at 216-325-WELL. What safety precautions is The Centers taking? Our clinical staff is undergoing daily health screenings and temperature checks. Anyone experiencing symptoms will be sent home. Additionally, patients with and without appointments are being asked to call 216-325-WELL before visiting a location so a representative from The Centers can conduct an evaluation over the telephone and plan for care accordingly. Lastly, service locations are being consolidated, hours adjusted, and services offered virtually whenever possible. COVID-19 RESOURCES Where can I learn more?
