LOUISVILLE, Ky. — If you're looking to get tested for COVID-19 and an at-home test won't meet your needs, you should utilize a drive-thru testing site rather than visit your local doctor.
Dr. Mary Rademaker, medical director of Norton Immediate Care Centers, said the influx of people trying to get a test through their primary care physician can cause appointments to fill up, blocking those who need to see a doctor for other medical reasons from getting a timely appointment.
"Quite a bit of people are just seeking a test," Dr. Rademaker said.
She urges anyone who is in need of a test, particularly those whose employers don't accept at-home tests, to find their nearest drive-thru testing location.
There are at least a dozen testing sites for the general public listed on the Louisville COVID-19 hub. Click here for more information.
