Would you please help I try to get a COVID test to travel can you help
At this time, Inova tests patients who are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, and asymptomatic patients for specific indications such as before elective surgeries and procedures. Due to an ongoing national shortage of testing supplies, Inova is only able to provide testing for individuals in these categories, and is not able to provide tests in populations such as asymptomatic individuals seeking a COVID-19 test after an exposure, for return to school or work, travel, etc. For those seeking asymptomatic testing, please visit the Virginia Department of Health COVID-19 Testing Site, https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/coronavirus/covid-19-testing/covid-19-testing-sites/, for a list of COVID-19 test sites which may be offering asymptomatic testing. You may also contact your specific county health department for guidance. Inova is continuously reviewing testing criteria provided by the CDC and Virginia Department of Health. We will reevaluate our ability to assist the community in this capacity if resources become available in the future.
