RT-PCR Testing at TGH Urgent Care powered by Fast Track

RT-PCR Testing (Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction) is a widely used diagnostic test to detect the presence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19. The test works by amplifying viral RNA to detect if the virus is present in a patient’s sample.

TGH Urgent Care, powered by Fast Track in Tampa Bay, offers RT-PCR testing as part of its COVID-19 testing services. The clinic is a walk-in location, allowing patients to receive testing without the need for an appointment.

To receive an RT-PCR test at TGH Urgent Care powered by Fast Track in Tampa Bay, patients should bring a photo ID and their insurance information. Testing is conducted by trained healthcare professionals, who will collect a sample from the patient’s nose or throat using a swab. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis, and the results are typically available within 24 to 48 hours.

It’s important to note that RT-PCR testing is not a guarantee of protection from COVID-19, as it only detects the presence of the virus at the time the sample was taken. Patients should continue to follow public health guidelines to protect themselves and others, including wearing a mask, practicing social distancing, and frequently washing their hands.
