Covid, Cold and Flu Care Clinics
Covid, Cold and Flu Care Clinics can assess, test, and provide treatment options for people who know or suspect they have COVID-19 and who meet certain criteria.
You should visit one if you have symptoms and:
- are at higher risk for COVID-19 and need to get tested and assessed for treatment (including antiviral treatment)
- have been directed by your primary care provider
You do not need to have a positive test result to visit. You should bring a list of your medications and a list of any important medical conditions.
If you develop severe symptoms requiring medical attention, such as shortness of breath or chest pain, call 911 or go to the emergency department.
