COVID-19 Testing Q&A

What is COVID-19?

COVID-19 is a respiratory illness caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It spreads primarily through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes, talks, or breathes near others. While many people experience mild symptoms, some individuals — especially older adults and those with underlying health conditions — may develop more serious illness.

Common symptoms of COVID-19 include:

  • Fever or chills
  • Cough
  • Shortness of breath
  • Fatigue
  • Body aches
  • Headache
  • Sore throat
  • Congestion or runny nose
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Loss of taste or smell


Symptoms may appear 2–14 days after exposure to the virus.

How is COVID-19 diagnosed?

Diagnosing COVID-19 begins with reviewing your symptoms and possible exposure history. Your medical experts at Express Lane Urgent Care perform a thorough evaluation and may recommend testing to confirm whether you have an active infection.

Testing typically involves a nasal or throat swab to detect the virus. Rapid tests may provide results the same day, while other tests are sent to a laboratory for processing. Your provider explains which testing option is best based on your symptoms, timing, and health history.

No matter your situation, you can rely on Express Lane Urgent Care for prompt, compassionate care and clear guidance on next steps.

Can I get treatment for COVID-19?

Yes. If you test positive for COVID-19, your treatment plan depends on the severity of your symptoms and your overall health.

For mild cases, treatment often includes:

  • Rest and hydration
  • Fever-reducing medications
  • Over-the-counter symptom relief

If you’re at higher risk for complications, your provider may discuss antiviral medications that can help reduce the severity and duration of illness when started early

Your practitioner also provides clear instructions on isolation guidelines, symptom monitoring, and when to seek emergency care. If you experience worsening symptoms, such as difficulty breathing, chest pain, or confusion, seek immediate medical attention.

Express Lane Urgent Care is here to support you every step of the way, from testing and diagnosis to treatment and recovery guidance.
