KidsStreet Urgent Care offers COVID-19 testing.
There are two types of COVID-19 tests. A viral test that will tell you if you currently are infected with COVID-19. This test uses a swab, and we are currently offering a rapid swab test that will tell you your results before you leave the clinic. The other test we offer is an antibody test. This will tell you if you had COVID-19 in the past. This antibody test is administered using a blood draw. All patients are eligible for both tests.
Available Testing
KidsStreet Urgent Care and MainStreet Family Care offer two Coronavirus tests. A test to see if you are currently infected with the COVID-19 virus and another test to see if you had an infection in the past and have developed antibodies to fight it.

People at a Higher Risk of Getting Very Sick from COVID-19
Data shows that some people are at higher risk of getting very sick from this illness. This includes:
- Older adults
- People who have serious chronic medical conditions like:

If you are at higher risk for serious illness from COVID-19 because of your age or because you have a serious long-term health problem, it is extremely important for you to take action to reduce your risk of getting sick with the disease.
