How soon should I be there? About how long will the wait take?
I have a few questions if anyone has any answers that could help me out I would greatly appreciate it . Does anyone know the type of test that will be administered at this free non prescreening testing site on Monday?
Is it the invasive through the nose down the throat or is it the simple swab in your nostril? From what I understand I’m not sure but I believe the antibody test requires blood, however; will this test either just say yes you’re positive or no you’re not or will it tell you if you have any antibodies in your system? I’m sure other people have wondered the same things so once again if anyone has any answers they would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and God Bless!
The tests are free.
(If you have insurance, they might try to bill them to get reimbursed.)
No cost to the person getting tested.
How much does it cost? How much will I owe if I have have no insurance? Please clarify.
