Symptoms of COVID-19 include:
- Constant dry cough
- Fever over 102 F
- Recent loss of taste and/or smell

- Shortness of breath
- Aches and pains
Symptoms may vary from case to case and range from mild to severe. Many positive cases of COVID-19 have appeared in patients who have not exhibited any symptoms at all.

What is a diagnostic test?
A COVID-19 diagnostic swab test is used to detect an active strain of the COVID-19 virus. The test is completed by collecting a sample using a nasal swab, and then it is analyzed in our lab.
These PCR tests are used when traveling and for return to work or school. Please call our center for more information.

AFC Urgent Care FAQs
-
Why does AFC provide two different COVID tests?
We offer a rapid test because they provide highly reliable results on the spot; however, they do produce more false negatives than the RT-PCR COVID-19 Test. Doing both tests is our way of ensuring that you get the most accurate results possible without having to put your life on hold.
-
How long does it take to get a COVID test?
We're able to get many patients in and out in a matter of minutes, but the length of time you'll spend in our clinic will depend on wait times that day.
-
How much does it cost to get a COVID test?
That will ultimately depend on your insurance coverage. Presently, many people with insurance are able to get tested at no charge. If you’re uninsured, AFC’s cash pay prices are highly competitive – contact us for the details.
