Testing
PCR Testing is available at El Paso ER. Resutls are available within a hour. PCR Testing is very accurate at picking up COVID-19 even in the absence of symptoms.
​
At home tests are useful if you have very mild symptoms or are not at risk of severe infection. If you're unsure, just give us a call and we can walk you through the process.

Treatment
There are two oral medications approved for outpatient treatment of COVID-19. Both are extremelty effective if taken within 5 days of symptom onset. The earlier the medications are started, the more effective they tend to be.

Please call us or visit to see if you are a candidate for one of these treatments. This will depend on your medical history, age, pregnancy status and severity of infection.
