For the safety of all of our patients, we ask those who are seeking coronavirus testing to make an appointment by using our convenient online “Save Your Spot” service.

We also offer bulk testing for employers, such as school districts and emergency services organizations.

Who Should Be Tested for COVID-19?

COVID-19 is a highly contagious respiratory illness that can cause serious complications for some people, including those who are 65 and older or have underlying medical problems. However, there have been cases of young, healthy people falling seriously ill after contracting the virus. There are also people who contract COVID-19 but experience only mild symptoms or even none at all.

The most commonly reported coronavirus symptoms include fever, coughing, and shortness of breath. In fact, COVID-19 symptoms are often similar to those of the flu. For this reason, when you call us about coronavirus testing, our staff may ask whether you have had a flu shot during the 2019-20 flu season, and we may recommend testing for the flu, which we can provide at our in-house lab.

Although government and medical experts have fast-tracked the development of a coronavirus vaccine, there currently is no COVID-19 vaccine available for widespread distribution. Cape Regional Urgent Care is dedicated to meeting the nonemergency health care needs of patients in Marmora and surrounding communities, and we’re diligently monitoring developments of new ways to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Until an effective and safe coronavirus vaccine is available, the top prevention methods recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) include wearing a mask and maintaining a distance of at least 6 feet from others when at gatherings and in public spaces. It’s also a good idea to wash your hands thoroughly as often as possible and avoid touching your face.

Types of Coronavirus Testing We Offer

When you book your COVID-19 testing appointment using our online service, you’ll be asked to select the type of coronavirus test you want to receive.

In the meantime, here’s a brief description of the COVID-19 tests available at Cape Regional Urgent Care:

• Rapid nasal swab testing, which is designed to detect an active infection within 15 to 20 minutes
• PCR (polymerase chain reaction) nasal swab testing, another type of analysis aimed at detecting an active infection that requires a few days for results
• Antibody serum testing, a blood sample analysis that can detect whether you’ve had an infection and recovered, which may indicate some level of immunity to the disease
