Can I be tested for COVID-19 at an EvergreenHealth Urgent Care or clinic?
In partnership with the CDC, we have updated our screening guidelines for COVID-19. We have halted performing nasopharyngeal testing in our outpatient clinics, including our urgent care locations.
Here’s why:
The CDC has determined that COVID-19 is now endemic, meaning that the virus is now considered to be regularly found in our region amongst our population. Previously, only individuals who had previously known risk factors (including history of travel, exposure to a confirmed case), were considered high risk for acquiring the disease. There is increased risk of transmission when performing any nasopharyngeal testing.

大意是我们中止了所有咽拭子covid-19测试，因为cdc认为本地区已经进入全面爆发，而且测试过程也存在传染风险。
