We will keep the temporary clinic open on an as-needed basis, but estimate just a few weeks to get through the surge of the Omicron variant. COVID testing will be performed at the providers discretion, as testing supplies are limited. Not everyone with symptoms will be tested for COVID.
As more patients come to us for COVID-19 testing, remember our emergency departments are here to treat complex, life-threatening conditions. For COVID-19 testing you can locate a testing site by visiting the Virginia Department of Health website or contact your primary care provider. Not everyone with symptoms will be tested for COVID.
