Here’s what AssociatesMD wants you to know:

Why the drive for Nasal Swab Testing?

First implemented in South Korea and adopted by many countries around the globe, Drive-Thru COVID-19 Testing using nasal swab testing is an efficient and safe way to test potentially sick patients in their cars to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19. Drive-thru testing is available to those with and without symptoms.

How long will it take?

The actual test is quick, about 5-10 minutes.
A medical worker will collect 1-2 samples from you with a nasal swab.
The sample(s) are then sent to a lab for testing.
Follow-up test results and COVID-19 education should be available within 48 to 72 hours.
For more detailed information visit the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) for Interim Guidelines for Collecting, Handling, and Testing Clinical Specimens from Persons for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19).

You’re ready to take the drive – now what?

You will need a prescription. This is easy. Just give us a call at 1-844-954-3627.
A compassionate AssociatesMD professional is ready to help you.

Then, you will be given an appointment time at our AssociatesMD COVID-19 Cypress Creek testing site, 2122 NW 62nd St., Fort Lauderdale 33309.
Please wear a protective facemask to your appointment.

Will this test determine if I have had COVID-19 in the past?

The nasal swab test determines if you currently have COVID-19 and does not provide antibody blood testing to assess if you had a previous infection with the virus in the past. Antibody blood tests, also called serologic tests, check your blood by looking for antibodies, which show if you had a previous infection with the virus. Depending on when someone was infected and the timing of the test, the test may not find antibodies in someone with a current COVID-19 infection. For more information visit:
