A couple weeks ago I woke up with a sore throat like I had never had in my life, No white splotches so no strep, I called my Doctor, they sent a order to the hospital for Covid test.

I walked into the hospital wearing a mask, stood way back from glassed in front desk and said I needed test an order was sent, They asked for my phone number and told me to wait outside they would call to confirm my name address etc. They called in less than 15 seconds, as I hung up the phone a nurse was walking towards me. I asked if results would be 24-48 hours or more. She said No in 2 hours your Doctor will call you with results. and 2 hours and 20 mins later they called I was negative Thank goodness, We determined my sore throat was from a recently started new med.

Now I live in a very small town. Our hospital has only 28 beds so getting results so fast is a huge plus... In Florida where my daughter lives right now people are waiting 7 + days for results.

I hope you get your results soon and that they are negative.
