Testing helps residents find out if they have coronavirus. It is for patients who are symptomatic, or meet any of the screening criteria, which is based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The screening criteria include meeting one or more of the following conditions:

• Coughing
• Shortness of breath
• Difficulty breathing
• Fever
• Chills
• Sore Throat
• Fatigue
• Body Aches or Muscle Pain
• Headache
• Nausea and/or Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Loss of Appetite
• Loss of Smell and/or Taste

All test samples are collected inside the Patient First center. Patients being tested for the coronavirus enter the building through a designated side entrance. The staff member collecting samples is equipped with proper PPE, including an N95 mask, gloves, eye protection, and gown.
Samples are sent to a third-party reference lab for testing.

A Patient First nurse will call each patient once results are available, to share results, provide guidance, and answer questions.

For most insured patients, there is no out-of-pocket expense for coronavirus testing. The visit will be submitted to patients' insurance. Patient First accepts all major insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid.

For most self-pay patients, there is no out-of-pocket cost for the exam. There may be a separate bill from the outside lab in some cases. The lab determines what, if anything, it bills the patient.

According to the latest numbers provided by Burlington County officials, 312 cases of the coronavirus have been identified among Cinnaminson residents, with 28 confirmed deaths.

Countywide, there are 7,817 cases of the coronavirus with 477 confirmed deaths and 54 probable deaths.

All Patient First Medical Centers remain open on a walk-in basis from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., every day, for patients who have an urgent need for medical or injury care. Appointments are not needed for visits unrelated to coronavirus testing.

All Patient First centers have taken steps to provide a safe environment for patients and staff, including requiring all patients and staff to wear masks while inside the center, thoroughly disinfecting surfaces throughout the center at regular intervals, requiring frequent handwashing, and limiting visitors to only essential family members.
