Sameday Health today launched a pioneering single-swab test for COVID, influenza and RSV that provides results within 24 hours

CDC has identified the recent surge in RSV, the onset of new variants of COVID-19, and the worst US flu season in decades as “the perfect storm for a terrible holiday season.” Across the United States, several cities and counties—incl Los Angeles County – are once again encouraging preventive measures, including regular testing and wearing masks indoors. Especially amid seasonal increases in indoor hoardings and illnesses, using a single swab and specimen to test for COVID-19, influenza, and RSV without the need to use subsequent tests improves the diagnostic and treatment process.

“RSV has primarily been a virus that adversely affects children, infants, and the elderly; as a result, most RSV tests that exist today are approved only for the under-fives. But exclusion or rapid identification of RSV may be especially critical for children. , those over the age of 65 and/or those with underlying health conditions who have fever, runny nose, sore throat, cough and general fatigue.” said Patrick mothersExecutive VP and Head of Clinics of Sameday Health. “We knew it would be incredibly valuable for Sameday Health to find a more efficient way to provide diagnostics for COVID-19, influenza and RSV without the hassle of needing three different tests. By offering this single swab test , we aim to improve individual health outcomes while minimizing negative community impact such as the risk of rapid local spread and overburdened hospitals.”

The new testing service uses laboratory-developed nasal swabs to test for the three diseases, providing results within 24 hours. Participating Sameday Health clinics offer the test for 250 dollars via a self-pay option, with an insurance payment option coming soon. Testing purchased by patients through Sameday Health is ordered by a licensed health care professional authorized to order laboratory testing in accordance with state laws.
