There are three locations on Oahu offering tests: Pearl City, Kapolei and Kailua.
And the patient never has to go inside . A big stop sign is on the door of one of the facilities, saying “Do Not Enter. Do not come in if you are coming in to get tested for COVID-19.”
Donna Schmidt, CEO of Urgent Care Hawaii, said the drive-through is a way to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
Those seeking coronavirus testing are asked a series of questions, including if you’ve had contact with a person with a positive coronavirus test, if you’ve had a fever of 100.4 or higher, if you have a cough and what your travel history is. You don’t need a referral from your own doctor to get a test.
Once you've filled out the forms, you put them in the file on an outside table, ring the door bell and go back to your car. Then a medical professional comes out dressed in a mask, face shield, gloves and gown. There's a nasal swab and throat swab. Both can be uncomfortable. The tests for flu and strep are done in house. If those come back negative, the swabs go to Texas or North Carolina for COVID-19 testing.
"In as little as 48 hours, we can tell you whether or not you have coronavirus. In the meantime we would ask that you quarantine yourself at home and just supportive care," said Nolan. |
