\u201cIt is very important to note that this testing is not for residents who are experiencing symptoms. Those individuals should be contacting their physician to discuss treatment and testing options,\u201d<\/strong> said Paul A. Pettit, MSL, CPH, Genesee and Orleans County Public Health Director. \u201cGiven the surge of infections in the county, it\u2019s important that we identify those who are infected that may not be demonstrating any symptoms and in fact are feeling fine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nAt the drive-thru site, a staff member for the testing center will offer guidance for residents to administer their own self-test by using a cotton swab. Each person in a vehicle will self-administer their own test; if there is a minor in the car an adult in the vehicle will be asked to administer the test. People will then drive off and will be contacted via phone with the results, with option for these results to be emailed as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf a person who is asymptomatic tests positive for the virus, he or she will need to be in isolation for a minimum of 10 days,\u201d Pettit continued. \u201cWhile this might discourage people from getting tested, we need to work together as a community to reduce the surge, plus someone who is asymptomatic can still infect a loved one who is not.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
