TESTING FOR COVID-19
COPA offers COVID testing for events or travel. COPA offers its current fast, accurate PCR testing available within 30-35 minutes. The test also provides convenient PCR testing for influenza (flu) both A and B strains, and RSV, all of which can mimic the symptoms of COVID and can also have severe complications for children. This saves kids more swabs and saves the cost of multiple tests. These tests are available at all scheduled visits with a provider at all COPA clinics.
