Multiple testing sites for Covid-10 from RCAHD
Omicron is very contagious but still manageable with the same familiar techniques: masks, distance, handwashing & vaccines.
Testing | I know everyone is looking for testing! We will be at Fincastle Baptist on Thursdays in Jan from 3pm – 5pm providing drive-through PCR testing. No appointment needed. Results come back 48 hrs later. Not sure if you need a test? Here’s the CDC Guidelines:
- You are having cold or flu-like symptoms.
- If you have a known exposure (un-masked contact, within 6 ft for more than 15 min), the CDC advises testing on day 5 after the exposure.
Clinics |
We will be at the Fincastle Dept of Health on the 1st and 3rd Thurs of the month starting next week.
These clinics will be on-going as an easy, consistent way to get first, second, or third shots for adults and kids. [We are excited to be at Eagle Rock Library on Wed 1/12 from 1:30pm – 3:30pm with kid and adult doses. We are back in Feb for follow up!
And we will be in Buchanan on Tues 1/18 at the Town Hall from 4:30pm – 6:30pm giving COVID 19 vaccines. Flyer coming soon!
