Anyone Can Be Tested for COVID-19 at Minor Emergency of Denton


If you or someone you know is experiencing the symptoms associated with the virus, then testing may be needed. The most common symptoms are fever, tiredness, body aches and dry cough. A person could also experience shortness of breath and/or difficulty breathing. Symptoms may not become apparent until 2 to 14 days after a person gets infected, or a person might not even show any symptoms.

Testing may also be needed if you do not have any symptoms. Many patients who have been exposed to coronavirus can be symptom free but still be infected. Minor Emergency of Denton can test asymptomatic patients to quickly determine if they currently are infected with coronavirus (COVID-19).

You may also need to be tested if you haven’t been exposed to the virus, but your job or your doctor/dentist is requiring you to have a negative test to prove that you are not currently infected. We can test anyone who has not been exposed directly to the virus but needs to show that they do not have coronavirus. Come to Minor Emergency of Denton Urgent Care to get the peace of mind you need during this COVID-19 Pandemic.
