Bad idea with the coronavirus pandemic? I just changed my appoint with my urologist next week to a telehealth appointment, don’t wanna risk sitting in a doctors office right now. But it got me thinking, is getting labs done risky as well?
I dont think it's a bad idea to still get labs done. I recieved an email the other day from Quest Laboratories (where I get my labs done) that they are still open and taking specimens through this crisis, and that they are taking all proper precautions.Bad idea with the coronavirus pandemic?

Hospitals are a likely place to contract it. They do sceanings at the door from my experience. As I was there a couple times a week ago as my mother was admitted. But as people can be carriers for a days or longer without having any symptoms any where sick or ill people are raises the chances.The lab Corp clinic I'm going to wont run tests on anyone showing symptoms of covid-19 nor do they test for it. I would be concerned about going into a hospital.
Exactly. I was considering not getting the test, but that would pose a chance of bleeding for me. I had a bad bleed last fall, so I'm going in reluctantly to the clinic. I feel better about it since the volume of patients is very low. Called back at 2pm to check on something and they have had only 7 patients all day long up to that point.Hospitals are a likely place to contract it. They do sceanings at the door from my experience.
