Employer COVID testing — frequently asked questions

Why should employers arrange COVID testing for employees?

Employee COVID testing helps identify active infections early, preventing workplace spread. It protects vulnerable employees, supports compliance with health and safety regulations, and enables confident return-to-work programs after illness or exposure.

What types of COVID tests are available for employee screening?

We offer Rapid Antigen tests (results ~15 minutes) and Rapid RT-PCR tests (results 30 min–2 hours). For most return-to-work scenarios, the Rapid Antigen test is sufficient. RT-PCR is recommended for higher-confidence results or documented employer requirements.

How does employee COVID testing work at Instant Urgent Care?

Employees can walk in to any of our 3 Bay Area locations (Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, or San Jose) and receive a rapid COVID test. Same-day results are provided in the patient portal as a PDF certificate. We can coordinate with employers for group testing or regular screening programs.

How often should employees be tested for COVID-19?

Testing frequency depends on your industry, local health guidelines, and company policy. For outbreak response, immediate testing is appropriate. For routine screening, weekly or bi-weekly rapid antigen testing is commonly used in high-risk settings. Consult your occupational health provider for specific guidance.

Can employees walk in for COVID testing without an appointment?

Yes — all our locations accept walk-ins for COVID testing. For large groups or coordinated employer testing programs, we recommend calling ahead to schedule batch testing and minimize employee wait time.

Does Instant Urgent Care provide occupational health services beyond COVID testing?

Yes — in addition to COVID testing, we offer DOT physicals, pre-employment physicals, TB testing, occupational injury care, and drug testing. Contact us at (408) 791-1210 to discuss a comprehensive occupational health program for your organization.
