Franklin
County Commissioners have agreed to send a letter of thanks to
PanCare health for providing COVID-19 testing locally.
The
group began offering the tests from a location in Eastpoint on April
the 15th.
Commissioners
pointed out that PanCare is not required to provide the service but
agreed to do it at the request of the county.
And
starting May the 4th, PanCare Health will begin offering
rapid antibody testing.
The
tests will be available by appointment only at all of their COVID-19
testing sites in including Bristol, Port St. Joe and Eastpoint.
There
are no requirements to receive the rapid antibody testing, and there
are no fees for the test.
If
you have insurance, they will bill your insurance, but there will be
no out of pocket expense.
The
rapid testing will tell if someone has ever been exposed to
coronavirus and now has the antibodies.
If
a person tests positive, the test will be followed up with a nasal
swab to confirm this as a true positive.
The
test will also show if someone has never been exposed and does not
have any antibodies.
To
be scheduled for testing, just call the COVID-19 response line at
(850) 215-4181.
You
can call Monday through Friday from 9 am-4 pm.
That
number again is (850) 215-4181.
