• Patients will be given a specific appointment window, in order to minimize wait times.
• Patients will drive or walk through a secured, marked area.
• No outdoor restrooms will be available at the collection locations.
• The sample is collected via a nasal swab and the process typically takes less than 30 seconds, not including any wait times.
• Testing results for the coronavirus typically take 5-7 days, depending on regional test volume. Individuals will be contacted directly with their results.  As volumes increase, wait times for results may be longer.
• While waiting for their test results, individuals should stay at home. Those who receive positive COVID-19 test results may be issued additional care orders or self-isolation orders.

“At AHN, drive-up testing for COVID-19 is part of our comprehensive plan to protect our patients, their families, and our caregivers from the risk of exposure to infectious disease, and to mitigate the potential spread of COVID-19 in our community,” said Thomas Walsh, MD, infectious disease specialist and medical director of AHN’s antimicrobial stewardship program. “We are very pleased to now make this testing available to a greater number of people, and to offer it in seven locations chosen for patient convenience.”
