If you do receive a positive COVID-19 result, isolate for 10 days and if you’ve been exposed to a close contact, quarantine for 14 days. Due to the extremely high volume of those requesting testing, Curative’s kiosk is no longer taking unscheduled appointments. We ask that you schedule your testing appointment at www.curative.com. “
