Per our policy, the time to get a Covid test is determined on a case-by-case basis: rule of thumb is two days after initial exposure. If you are unsure, ask your MLO.
That said, I would try to schedule your *free* test ahead of time so that way you can get your results in a little quicker.
Here's how it's done:
In your search bar, look up CVS Covid testing, and then click the link that says COVID-19 Testing and Locations (or click the link right here ).
Enter in your ZipCode in the box, and then click Schedule a test.
It will direct you to a new page where you have to answer a few questions before you can begin scheduling. It looks like this:
Answer these honestly, and then at the bottom of the screen, click Accept.
You will then be directed to a new page where you can begin scheduling.
Equity & Help requires a negative PCR result prior to coming back to the office. A negative result on the rapid test will not be valid for your return. Therefore, you should click the Molecular lab test (PCR/NAAT) checkbox.
This is what the screen will look like for you- depending on what time of day you plan to schedule your test, you may find difficulty scheduling it for that same day- upon making this article, I had to choose Tuesday instead of today as there was no availability.
Click on a time that suits you best.
After choosing your time, you will be directed to a page that looks like this:
You must fill out the whole form before submitting- after you submit the completed form, you will receive an email, a text message, or both, containing a confirmation number that you will need to have prior to taking your test. Don't delete that email or text.
When you get to your testing location, they'll ask you for that confirmation number, then they'll take it from there!
The only thing you'll have to worry about is knowing who to send your results to (Our MLO and Rebecca via email).
