If you think you need a COVID-19 test, here are some things to know and places where you can get a test. Recently, Gov Lee announced Tennesseans who want to get a COVID-19 test should get one even if you are not currently experiencing symptoms. However, for reference, symptoms are listed below.
Symptoms (provided by the CDC)
Reported illnesses have ranged from mild to severe. These symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure (based on the incubation period of MERS-CoV viruses).
- Fever
- Cough
- Shortness of breath
- Fatigue
- Muscle or body aches
- Headache
- New loss of taste or smell

*This list is not all-inclusive. Please consult your medical provider for any other symptoms that are severe or concerning.

There are over 200 viruses that can cause any of these symptoms? Can we be tested, for free, for the other 199? If if not, why?
Hi David,
Please share which of the other 200(+) …not quite sure how yougot 199 from ‘over 200’ – 1… viruses are currently in the middle of global pandemic and I will check with our staff on what the cost to you is for that test.
GracePointe Healthcare is also testing and they have the 10 minute rapid test.
Anyone know where I can get the J&J vaccine in/around Williamson County?
