Walk-in COVID Testing in Clearwater, FL

Get Convenient and Cost-Effective Rapid COVID Testing at One Medical Center

Types of COVID Testing Available at One Medical Center

At One Medical Center, we offer three types of COVID testing options, including:

PCR Testing

PCR tests analyze your nose or throat’s swab to check for the presence of genetic material of the coronavirus to see if there is an active infection.

Rapid Antigen Testing

It checks your nose or throat’s swab to detect the presence of specific antigens of the coronavirus. Rapid antigen tests only detect acute, active infections, not past infections or responses to vaccinations.

Antibody (Serology) Testing

It checks your blood sample to detect the presence of antibodies (that are required to fight off the virus) from your past infection or after being vaccinated. Antibody testing is often performed after you are fully recovered from COVID-19.

Who Should Get Tested for COVID-19?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), people with the following symptoms may need to get tested for COVID-19:

Severe headache

Fatigue

Breathing difficulty

Grocery store employees

Fever or chills

Diarrhea

Sore throat

Those who have recently traveled to an area with high rates of COVID-19 infections.

Muscle or body aches

Cough

Nausea or vomiting

Loss of taste or smell

Congestion or runny nose

Healthcare professionals

However, some people can be asymptomatic. So, everyone should follow all COVID-19 precautionary measures to avoid getting sick. If you have been exposed to infected individuals, be sure to get tested, even if you don’t develop any symptoms and are vaccinated.

What Happens During Your COVID-19 Test?

At One Medical Center, your COVID-19 test begins with sample collection. We will insert a swab (a long stick with soft material at the top) into the nose or the back of the throat (as required) and twirl it around for some seconds to collect a sample secretion. To collect an adequate sample, we may insert the swab deep into your nose., It is quite common to experience watery eyes and a feeling of likeliness to sneeze until your test is done.

You can go home and resume your normal activities right after getting tested. We will call you when your results are ready. However, ensure to practice quarantine measures until you get your test results.

How Long Will It Take to Get the COVID Test Results?

The turnaround time for the COVID test depends on its type. While RT PCR (reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction) and antibody tests can take 1-2 days to show results, rapid antigen tests provide results within 15-30 minutes.
