Life is complicated these days, especially as the COVID-19 pandemic rolls on and new strains of the novel coronavirus emerge. It can be tough to keep up with ever-changing health guidelines and recommendations, but here’s something you can count on: Affinity Urgent Care will be here to make receiving a COVID-19 test simple. Our modern and comfortable immediate care clinic in Galveston is equipped to offer COVID-19 testing with same-day results, so you won’t have to wait around to find the answers and peace of mind you need. Plus, our clinic is open every day during extended hours and provides easy online appointment scheduling.
Affinity Urgent Care currently offers three types of same-day COVID-19 testing:
Rapid antigen testing involves a quick nasal swab. It works by detecting proteins related to SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19.
Also involving a nasal swab, rapid PCR (polymerase chain reaction) testing is recognized as the gold standard of COVID-19 testing and screens for the virus’ genetic material.
This type of same-day testing screens for antibodies produced by a past COVID-19 infection in a patient’s blood sample. It does not screen for an active COVID-19 infection.
Unsure of which test is right for you? If so, no worries—our friendly professionals can walk you through all of our same-day COVID-19 testing options and recommend the best test for your needs.
Come see us in Galveston! Affinity Urgent Care is in-network with most health insurance plans and serves pediatric and adult patients.
