1. COVID -19 testing

The novel coronavirus has taken away people’s peace of mind. At Live Urgent Care, they have well-equipped specialists who will get you tested and restore your peace. The tests offered are Rapid PCR COVID -19 testing and COVID -19 antibody testing. Rapid PCR COVID -19 testing involves the swabbing of a Q –tip in your nose and throat, and then the contents are tested for the presence of the virus. 

The test is done for anyone who suspects they have been exposed to the virus. COVID -19 antibody testing involves the screening of your blood to determine whether there is a presence of the antibodies that fight the virus in your blood. When you get infected, your body takes two to three weeks to develop proteins that will help your immune system fight the virus, COVID -19 antibody testing checks for those proteins.

2. Telemedicine

Telemedicine is the diagnosis and treatment of a patient from the comfort of their homes through technological advancements like smartphones and laptops. Live Urgent Care understands that everyone is afraid of exposure to the coronavirus and therefore can have you diagnosed and treated without having to visit their facilities. However, not all illnesses can be handled through telemedicine. Below are some of the diseases that can be handled:

·       Asthma

·       Cold and Flu

·       Food poisoning

·       UTIs (Urinary Tract Infection)

·       Strep throat

·       Yeast infection

The doctor makes an appointment with you based on your health problem. After a thorough analysis, they develop a treatment plan for you like medication prescription, physical clinic appointments, or home care procedures like diets.

3. Women health

Some of the health problems that affect women are gender-specific and have very severe complications if unattended. Live Urgent Care has a department whose sole purpose is to ensure women’s health issues are addressed.
