I had a bad cough and other symptoms that could have been COVID. my doc suggested I get tested.

It came out negative yesterday. It was the traditional test with the probe up your nose (its not that bad by the way) and took 3 business days for results to come back.

I am in Virginia and all it took was one phone call to an urgent care place (Velocity ) to book an appointment. My insurance paid all of it. Without insurance its only $153.00. As of today they now offer the 15 minute test without restrictions. Symptons or not.

Hardly felt it at all.

That is a choice between getting the test or paying a bill. Or a test and groceries.

However, there were reports that it could cost thousands which may make people hesitant to take it. In reality most insurance plans cover it.

Been in situations where I would hesitate trying to decide how to use the last 100.00 dollars until the next pay.

5. Can I ask what general area of the Commonwealth?

Tidewater? - I’m guessing that because it’s Velocity
Valley
NoVa
Central
Roanoke
Mountain empire

Patient First and Walgreens have almost next day appointments and result in 48 hours.
I’m just saying you might want to get tested again in a few days.
