Tulare Urgent Care

Testing for COVID-19 Two kinds of tests are available for COVID-19: 1. Viral Tests 2. Antibody Test... A viral test tells you if you have a current infection. An antibody test tells you if you had a previous infection. An antibody test may not be able to show if you have a current infection, because it can take 1-3 weeks after infection to make antibodies. We do not know yet if having antibodies to the virus can protect someone from getting infected with the virus again, or how long that protection might last. Who should be tested To learn if you have a current infection, viral tests are used. Most people will have mild illness and can recover at home without medical care. If you have symptoms of COVID-19 and want to get tested, or you want to have the antibody test done call your nearest COVID-19 testing center. Results If you test positive for COVID-19 by a viral test, know what protective steps to take if you are sick or caring for someone. A negative result for COVID-19 by a viral test indicates, you probably were not infected at the time you were tested. However, that does not mean you will not get a coronavirus infection. The Negative Test result only tells that you did not have COVID-19 at the time of testing. If you test positive or negative for COVID-19, you still should take preventive measures and precautions for the sake of yourself and others.

Shopping for food and other household essentials Stay home if sick. Avoid shopping if you are sick or have symptoms of COVID-19, which include a fever, cough, o...r shortness of breath. Order online or use curbside pickup. Order food and other items online for home delivery or curbside pickup (if possible). Only visit the grocery store, or other stores selling household essentials, in person when you absolutely need to. This will limit your potential exposure to others and the virus that causes COVID-19. Protect yourself while shopping. Stay at least 6 feet away from others while shopping and in lines. Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face covering when you have to go out in public. When you do have to visit in person, go during hours when fewer people will be there (for example, early morning or late night). If you are at higher risk for severe illness, find out if the store has special hours for people at higher risk. If they do, try to shop during those hours. People at higher risk for severe illness include adults 65 or older and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions. Disinfect the shopping cart, use disinfecting wipes if available. Do not touch your eyes, nose, or mouth. If possible, use touchless payment (pay without touching money, a card, or a keypad). If you must handle money, a card, or use a keypad, use hand sanitizer right after paying.

Accepting deliveries and takeout orders Limit in-person contact if possible. Pay online or on the phone when you order (if possible). Accept deliveries without ...in-person contact whenever possible. Ask for deliveries to be left in a safe spot outside your house (such as your front porch or lobby), with no person-to-person interaction. Otherwise, stay at least 6 feet away from the delivery person. Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer after accepting deliveries or collecting mail. After receiving your delivery or bringing home your takeout food, wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. After collecting mail from a post office or home mailbox, wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.

Banking Bank online whenever possible. If you must visit the bank, use the drive-through ATM if one is available. Clean the ATM keyboard with a disinfecting wip...e before you use it. When you are done, use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds when you get home Getting gasoline Use gloves or disinfecting wipes on handles or buttons before you touch them. Use gloves or disinfecting wipes on handles and buttons before you touch them (if available). After fueling, use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds when you get home or somewhere with soap and water. Going to the doctor or getting medicine Talk to your doctor online, by phone, or e-mail. Use telemedicine, if available, or communicate with your doctor or nurse by phone or e-mail. Talk to your doctor about rescheduling procedures that are not urgently needed. If you must visit in-person, protect yourself and others. If you think you have COVID-19, let the office know and follow guidance. Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth face covering when you have to go out in public. Do not touch your eyes, nose, or mouth. Use disinfecting wipes on frequently touched surfaces such as handles, knobs, touchpads (if available). Stay at least 6 feet away from others while inside and in lines. When paying, use touchless payment methods if possible. If you cannot use touchless payment, sanitize your hands after paying with card, cash, or check. Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds when you get home.
