With a national shortage of COVID-19 home testing kits putting a strain on medical facilities, St. Tammany Health System is asking local residents to adhere to the following guidance when considering whether or not they should get tested.
Do you have few or no symptoms?
Concerned you’ve been exposed?
Are your symptoms significant but not serious?
Do you have severe symptoms?
Because a person can have COVID-19 before symptoms arise or not exhibit symptoms at all, health experts consider widespread testing key to containing this disease.
Following the above guidelines will ensure care providers and adequate supplies are available for those truly in need of emergency care.
Please note: Emergency services are available for emergency care at all times.
