What is mobile COVID testing?
Mobile COVID testing at Revive Health and Wellness includes anterior nasal or throat swabs that detect the presence of the COVID-19 virus, which is a flu-like virus that can be deadly in some people.

Is mobile COVID testing right for me?
You might need a COVID test if you’ve been exposed to someone with COVID-19 or you experience symptoms of the illness. COVID-19 is spread through shared surfaces, shared utensils, coughing, sneezing, and close physical contact.
What are the symptoms of COVID-19?
Some of the many signs and symptoms linked with COVID-19 include:
- Cough
- Fever
- Chills
- Fatigue
- Headaches
- Muscle or body aches
- Sore throat
- Nasal congestion
- Runny nose
- Loss of taste or smell
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
For more serious symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, or difficulty breathing, please seek emergency medical care or call 911.
Your symptoms could appear 2-14 days after being exposed to COVID-19. They might be mild, moderate, severe, or life-threatening in some cases.
What should I expect during mobile COVID testing?
During mobile COVID testing with the Revive Health and Wellness team, your specialist travels to you.
During COVID testing, your provider swabs your throat or the back part of your nostril. They might take a sample of blood to test for COVID-19 antibodies. You could receive your results soon after COVID testing, later the same day, or after several days, depending on the type of COVID test you undergo.
What do my results mean?
If you test positive for COVID-19, it’s important to get plenty of rest, drink a lot of fluids, and eat healthy foods. Limit exposure to other people to avoid spreading the disease.
Call your primary care provider who might recommend you take medications or undergo other treatments to reduce COVID-19 symptoms and speed up your recovery.
