COVID-19 Testing in Miami-Dade
UHealth Jackson Urgent Care offers three forms of FDA approved COVID-19 testing: COVID-19 PCR test, antigen test, and antibody test.
In order to receive a COVID-19 PCR test or antigen test, you must be symptomatic, showing symptoms of a possible COVID-19 infection, and be seen by one of our board-certified doctors. The doctor will then determine which COVID-19 test should be administered
The antibody test is offered to asymptomatic, not showing any symptoms of COVID-19, patients; you will first be seen by one of our board-certified doctors.
Test results do not lessen the importance of social distancing or use of cloth face covers or masks. Flu and COVID-19 symptoms can sometimes be similar; our urgent care centers also offer a rapid flu test to help rule things out.
