Credit Screenshot of Indiana Department of Health Neighborhood Health in Fort Wayne is now offering rapid antigen testing as of Monday morning.
The news comes as hospitalizations and ICU usage by COVID-19 patients ticked up slightly to begin the week.
The rapid test results can be prepared in ten minutes and can be used for patients who are within five days of the onset of COVID-19 symptoms. Longer -- and more accurate -- PCR tests are also available for use “when appropriate,” according to a release from Neighborhood Health.
A test will be performed “when patients are evaluated at a scheduled appointment with a provider” at Neighborhood Health’s southside location, 3350 Paulding Road.
