Can anyone tell me where I can get a walk-in PCR test with the fastest turnaround? We just moved here and back where I was living some places were 24 hrs and some places were up to 5 days.
Edit: got a place. Thanks for the recommendations everyone.

Go to the main sentara hospital. Always fast at the main lab it gets ran almost immediately bc it doesn’t need a delievery to a lab
Thanks for this info! I just started a new job and my insurance hasn’t kicked in yet so I wanted to avoid an urgent care or hospital but I will def keep this in mind moving forward, though my entire family did end up testing positive today so hopefully I won’t have to worry about this again 😫
CVS is generally really good with turnaround times. There is drive through Rite Aids also with generally quick turnaround time as well.
2-3 days for rite aid, have to have an appointment as well. People get really worked up about the second part. Source - gf works in the pharmacy there
Labs to Go does it, but I’m not sure if you need a doctor’s order. Best to call first. Also I’m not sure if they accept insurance or not.
Arcpoint labs lets you choose how fast you want the results. It says 4-5 hours on their page but when I have gone, it usually only takes 2-3 hours.
Thanks! Ended up going here and it was fine.
Nothing shady about my experiences. They do a great job, very professional
Kind of a shady place though. Make sure to check all of your info before and after.
Why a shady place? I’ve used them several times because of travel restrictions and i haven’t had issues yet.
There is a location in Va Beach and I won't go into details but it has a shady feeling to it. Seeing people who are working there not even able to wear masks right and then seeing really silly mistakes on forms that could potentially complicate people's dealings with others.
