What We Know About COVID-19

Looking for the latest COVID-19 information? You’re in the right place. Here are some key facts about this serious illness, the new COVID-19 variants, and the updated vaccines.

What Is COVID-19?

COVID-19 is a respiratory illness caused by the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, according to the CDC. It spreads from person to person through what experts call “community spread.” You can contract the virus by being near an infected person who sneezes, coughs, or talks. It can also spread by touching surfaces contaminated by an infected person.

Am I at Risk for COVID-19?

Anyone can get COVID-19, regardless of age or health condition. It is highly contagious and can spread quickly in any community. However, the risk of severe illness or death increases significantly for individuals with certain medical conditions and those aged 65 and older.

What Are the COVID-19 Symptoms?

Symptoms can include cough, fever, chills, congestion, aches, and nausea. You might also experience a loss of taste or smell. Symptoms can range from mild to severe, and some people may be asymptomatic. Symptoms typically appear 2-14 days after exposure. If you think you’ve been exposed to the virus, contact us about getting tested for COVID-19.

What If I’m Already Sick with COVID-19?

If you are sick with COVID-19, stay home except to get medical care. Isolate yourself from others, monitor your health, and seek immediate medical attention if you have trouble breathing or experience chest pain.

What Are the New COVID-19 Variants?

New variants of the virus, such as Delta and Omicron, have emerged and spread more rapidly than the original strain. These variants can cause more severe illness and may partially evade immunity from previous infections or vaccinations. Stay updated on the latest information about variants to protect yourself and your community.

Updated COVID-19 Vaccines

The COVID-19 vaccines have been updated to provide better protection against new variants. Booster shots are now available and recommended for additional immunity. Stay informed about vaccine availability and eligibility for booster doses to ensure you remain protected.

Lavender Healthcare FAQs

Why does Lavender provide two different COVID tests?

We offer a rapid test because they provide highly reliable results on the spot; however, they do produce more false negatives than the RT-PCR COVID-19 Test. Doing both tests is our way of ensuring that you get the most accurate results possible without having to put your life on hold.

How long does it take to get a COVID test?

We’re able to get many patients in and out in a matter of minutes, but the length of time you’ll spend in our clinic will depend on wait times that day.

How much does it cost to get a COVID test?

That will ultimately depend on your insurance coverage. Presently, many people with insurance are able to get tested at no charge. If you’re uninsured, Lavender’s cash pay prices are highly competitive – contact us for the details.
