| Boilerpipe Text | The latest CDC published that symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. People with these symptoms may have COVID-19:
Fever or chills
Cough
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Fatigue
Muscle or body aches
Headache
New loss of taste or smell
Sore throat
Congestion or runny nose
Nausea or vomiting
Diarrhea
This list does not include all possible symptoms. CDC claims it will continue to update this list as we learn more about COVID-19. The CDC also advises on seeking medical attention when emergency warning signs occur for COVID-19. If someone is showing any of these signs, seek emergency medical care immediately:
Trouble breathing
Persistent pain or pressure in the chest
New confusion
Inability to wake or stay awake
Bluish lips or face
**This list is not all possible symptoms. Please call your medical provider for any other symptoms that are severe or concerning to you.**
Call 911 or call ahead to your local emergency facility: Notify the operator that you are seeking care for someone who has or may have COVID-19.
Quick Facts:
Purpose: Present infection
Method: Swab
Result in: 2-3 days
Test: Hologic, Roche
Cost:
 Covered by most health insurances or self-pay fee of $100
FDA Emergency Use Authorization
*Consultation is covered by most major insurance providers
The COVID RT-PCR Test detects the genetic material of the virus using a lab technique called polymerase chain reaction (PCR). This test can also be called a PCR test. A health care worker will collect fluid from a nasal swab. You will be able to see results in three to five days if sent to an outside lab. The FDA approved certain COVID-19 at-home test kits, available only with doctor approval. The sample is then mailed to a lab for testing. We highly recommend consumers against buying unapproved home tests. This may be inaccurate and unsafe.
You should get COVID RT-PCR Test if you:
Think you may have COVID-19, but there is no rush to get results.
No need for immediate results. Willing to wait 2-3 days.
Would potentially like insurance to cover the test.

 Medical Offices of Manhattan do not test or treat anyone under 18 years of age; This includes all COVID Tests.Â

| Readable Markdown | The latest CDC published that symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. People with these symptoms may have COVID-19:
- Fever or chills
- Cough
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- Fatigue
- Muscle or body aches
- Headache
- New loss of taste or smell
- Sore throat
- Congestion or runny nose
- Nausea or vomiting
- Diarrhea
This list does not include all possible symptoms. CDC claims it will continue to update this list as we learn more about COVID-19. The CDC also advises on seeking medical attention when emergency warning signs occur for COVID-19. If someone is showing any of these signs, seek emergency medical care immediately:
- Trouble breathing
- Persistent pain or pressure in the chest
- New confusion
- Inability to wake or stay awake
- Bluish lips or face
\*\*This list is not all possible symptoms. Please call your medical provider for any other symptoms that are severe or concerning to you.\*\*
**Call 911 or call ahead to your local emergency facility: Notify the operator that you are seeking care for someone who has or may have COVID-19.**
**Quick Facts:**
- Purpose: Present infection
- Method: Swab
- Result in: 2-3 days
- Test: Hologic, Roche
- Cost: **Covered by most health insurances or self-pay fee of \$100**
- FDA Emergency Use Authorization
**\*Consultation is covered by most major insurance providers**
The COVID RT-PCR Test detects the genetic material of the virus using a lab technique called polymerase chain reaction (PCR). This test can also be called a PCR test. A health care worker will collect fluid from a nasal swab. You will be able to see results in three to five days if sent to an outside lab. The FDA approved certain COVID-19 at-home test kits, available only with doctor approval. The sample is then mailed to a lab for testing. We highly recommend consumers against buying unapproved home tests. This may be inaccurate and unsafe.
You should get COVID RT-PCR Test if you:
- Think you may have COVID-19, but there is no rush to get results.
- No need for immediate results. Willing to wait 2-3 days.
- Would potentially like insurance to cover the test.

**Note:** Medical Offices of Manhattan do not test or treat anyone under 18 years of age; This includes all COVID Tests. **We also do not perform any Rapid RT-PCR COVID Testing.** |
