COVID-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Infection with the virus can range from being asymptomatic to life-threatening respiratory illness. Infection has been detected globally and in all 50 states. Symptoms associated with COVID-19 include cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fever, chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat or new loss of taste or smell.

COVID-19 can present with severe illness in individuals of any age and without any previous health problems, but the risk for severe illness from COVID-19 increases with age, with older adults at highest risk. Having underlying medical conditions may also increase one’s risk for severe illness from COVID-19.

If you have risk factors or an underlying health condition which may put you at increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19, you should consult with your healthcare provider before using this test.

Blood Typing Test

I may have known my blood type at one point but if you haven’t given blood or had children, it’s not something you can find out easily… until now. One quick blood test at a LabCorp in Walgreen’s and now I know! It was quick, easy and inexpensive.
