The importance of getting tested

The importance of testing goes beyond medical advances, it becomes much more personal for each of us when it means protecting the lives of those we love most. Getting tested means you can know whether it is safe to cuddle your young children, hug and share meals with your family, and ultimately care for those closest to you. What happens to you, affects your family. Movimiento es vivir, movement is life; getting tested can fuel this momentum with confidence in knowing you can return to work or your family safely. It is important to remember that being tested today is not equivalent to receiving a vaccine or immunity, and one should still move forward with the necessary preventive measures. Everything we know about the virus currently is a result of testing for it, and we need more testing to find out how we can stay healthy, stay positive, and test negative.

The USHCA, along with our partners the Austin Latino Coalition, Univision 62, and the Latino Health Care Forum, had another successful testing event July 18, 2020 at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church. The event provided much needed, barrier free COVID-19 testing and FREE PPE supplies for our Latino construction industry frontline workers.

If you need to get tested, please join us at our next free COVID testing event. Visit out COVID-19 Testing page for more updates on testing and event information.

La importancia de las pruebas va más allá de los avances médicos, y se vuelve cada vez más personal cuando se trata de proteger las vidas de nuestros seres más queridos. Realizar la prueba significa que uno puede determinar si es seguro abrazar a nuestros hijos, compartir comidas con nuestra familia, y finalmente cuidar a nuestros seres querido. Los que te pasa a ti, afecta a tu familia.

Movimiento es vivir; Hacerte la prueba te da la confianza de saber que puedes regresar al trabajo o a casa sano y salvo. Es importante recordar que realizar la prueba no es equivalente a recibir una vacuna o inmunidad al virus, y uno debe seguir tomando las medidas de precaución necesarias. Todo lo que sabemos sobre el virus hoy en día es el resultado de las pruebas, y necesitamos continuar haciendo más pruebas para saber cómo nos podemos mantener saludables, estando positivos pero probando negativo.
