Screening and Testing

BayCare is repositioning resources in response to the novel coronavirus outbreak to help stem the spread of COVID-19. See testing centers below.

If you suspect you have coronavirus and have not yet been screened for COVID-19 by a provider, visit BayCareAnywhere.org on your smart phone or computer 24/7 to have a virtual visit with a provider.

Pre-screening is necessary before accessing a COVID-19 testing site.

BayCare Provides Access to Rapid Testing for COVID-19 Patients

BayCare Health System is providing access to rapid testing for COVID-19 patients, starting April 9. The new option will greatly reduce the time it takes BayCare hospitals to diagnose patients, enhancing care amid the growing novel coronavirus pandemic.
