As of 8 a.m. Friday, April 3, MU Health Care had conducted 2,774, tests for COVID-19, with 89 positive results since testing began in March. There are four inpatients at MU Health Care with a positive COVID-19 diagnosis and six inpatients with test results pending.
For those who are experiencing mild COVID-19 symptoms such as fever or cough, MU Health Care offers a free assessment through its virtual urgent care platform. To access the service, visit muhealthvideovisits.org and select the “COVID19” video visit option. Those with a doctor’s order for testing can use MU Health Care’s safe and convenient drive-thru testing location in the MU softball stadium parking lot.
Patients suffering severe symptoms or breathing problems should call ahead to the emergency department before arriving to ensure health-care staff can prepare for the individual’s arrival and limit their exposure to others.
