Alice Hyde Hospital will only provide COVID-19 tests to inpatients in the hospital, Emergency Department patience awaiting inpatient admission and residents of the Alice Center who meet CDC and Public Health guidelines for COVID -19. Limited testing is a result of a national shortage of COVID-19 testing kits. People who are mildly ill are asked to follow the CDC guidelines surrounding COVID-19. If an individual is feeling ill they should contact their primary care provider and only visit a medical facility at the direction of the provider or if they are severely ill. Going to an emergency facility will not directly result in a test for COVID-19.
