COVID-19 testing at Mesa Community College

COVID-19 testing is now available at the campus of Embry Women's Health. The college will provide free COVID-19 tests at its drive-through location on 1833 W. Southern Ave. Those who wish to take the test in person should bring a valid photo ID and their insurance information. The testing center has the capacity to perform up to 3,000 tests per day. Raymond Embry, development director of Embry Women's Health, said that this year's testing has increased 1,000% since July 1.

In the meantime, students can take the test at the campus of Embry Women's Health. The clinic maintains tents on campus and across the street from the Tempe Marketplace. To ensure the safety of their community, students should make an appointment online and follow recommended public health protocols. These include vaccination, face covering, and social distaging. A statewide free COVID-19 testing event will be held on February 22.

The drive-through testing site is accessible to the campus as well as the public. It offers a nasal swab PCR test, with results available in 48 hours. The location is in the parking lot north of Bunting Hall. Visitors can enter from North Avenue, Cannell Avenue, or 7th Street. The location is located off of Mesa Community College's campus.

COVID-19 testing at smaller Embry testing sites

One of the smaller Embry health testing sites is Mesa Community College, and it is open seven days a week, from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. It involves orange traffic cones and a health care worker taking a patient's personal information and swabbing their nose. Once the patient has completed the test, the car can then leave. This is a new site for COVID-19 testing and Embry Health hopes to continue expanding its testing sites across the state.

While COVID-19 cases have decreased in the United States, other countries are seeing spikes. Because COVID-19 testing is highly contagious, federal funding has become a source of concern. However, a recent law mandated that health insurance plans cover COVID testing. Moreover, the federal government funds a program that reimburses the costs for those without insurance. COVID-19 testing is free at most Embry testing sites, but some sites may require insurance.

The closing of 60 Embry Health COVID-19 testing sites in Arizona is a major blow to those without health insurance. Although the larger sites are expected to remain open, smaller testing sites will no longer be able to provide the necessary COVID-19 vaccinations and treatments. Embry plans to keep the equipment and staff at these sites, but they may have to reopen them after relocating from the larger sites.

COVID-19 testing at Sonora Quest Laboratories

One of the largest hospitals in Arizona processes the majority of COVID-19 tests, with more than 30,000 samples processed in one day last week. To meet this demand, Sonora Quest is expanding its testing services. COVID-19 testing is now being done using diagnostic molecular tests, which detect the viral RNA present in the body before antibodies form. As a result, the testing facility can catch infection at an early stage.

Arizona's leading diagnostic information services, Sonora Quest is dedicated to helping patients respond to emerging health threats. COVID-19 testing at Sonora Quest laboratories can detect the presence of RNA from the COVID-19 virus (SARS-CoV-2). A positive test will indicate that the body is able to defend itself from re-infection. The laboratory's staff will perform this testing for patients and their families.

The company has expanded its COVID-19 testing capacity to 25,000 tests per day. It expects to reach 30,000 tests per day this week. Sonora Quest began COVID testing on March 9 and has performed more than 106,000 tests. It also performs free COVID tests for schools. Founded in 1997, Sonora Quest Laboratories has a history of high-quality service.
