BROOKLYN COVID-19 TESTING

Test COVID-19 Near Me at Statcare Urgent Care Brooklyn

The Omicron subvariant of COVID-19, BA.5, is now the predominant strain in the U.S. as per the CDC. It’s the most infectious strain to date and is able to evade immunity from prior COVID infections or vaccinations. The symptoms however are same as for other COVID strains. Being vaccinated helps protect you against severe disease. The CDC data that shows risk of death was four times higher for those over age 50 who had only the first booster, compared with those who had two boosters of COVID two boosters of COVID vaccines. New research shows that repeated COVID infection (asymptomatic, too) increases the risk for complications and long COVID. These include stroke, heart attack, diabetes, GI and kidney disorders and memory issues. The more the number of people infected, the more the chances for new variants to emerge. Vaccination is therefore encouraged.

COVID-19 Test Now Available at Brooklyn Urgent Care

We are doing COVID-19 testing as per Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and New York State Department of Health guidelines. But not everyone needs to be tested for the virus. Once you arrive at the clinic, our health care provider will help determine if you need the test.

We highly recommend that you don’t walk-in to our facilities. We have a safer process for testing and consultations. This helps in limiting the exposure of our health workers, in keeping everyone safe, and avoiding congestion in our office that would risk other staff members and patients. Due to the current situation, to protect our staff and patients and control testing capacity, we are shifting our registration process online to prioritize public health.

In order to do this, we will require a few things prior to your visit:

(It is recommended that you read the whole process before beginning)
