A Henderson County resident tested positive to COVID-19 a second time, bringing the number of positive test results received by Physicians Quality Care to 59.

Since March 18, PQC has tested 1,491 people for the coronavirus in its secure COVID-19 Clinic in Jackson and received 1,463 test results back.

Meanwhile, 903 people have come through PQC’s urgent care clinics in Jackson and Milan to be tested for COVID-19 antibodies.

Physicians Quality Care, in partnership with LabCorp, a nationally accredited testing laboratory, began offering specific tests for COVID-19 (Sars-CoV-2) IgG antibodies three weeks ago. IgG antibodies are the body’s immune system response to fighting off the presence of a virus.

Patients seeking tests for COVID-19 antibodies and other urgent care patients can walk in to the urgent care clinics without the risk of being exposed to patients who may have the virus, said Dr. Jimmy Hoppers, CEO.

“Since the start of the COVID-19 outbreak in March, we set up separate clinics so our urgent care patients and our primary care patients could safely come to our clinics for medical care,” Hoppers said.

PQC has treated and tested more people for COVID-19 than any other commercially owned medical clinic in the area. As part of its efforts to help reduce the spread of the virus, the clinic is also participating in a national research study of patients who have recovered from COVID-19.

With all of its COVID-19-related testing, Physicians Quality Care is working with nationally accredited laboratories that are following FDA guidelines, said Dr. Jimmy Hoppers, the clinic’s CEO.

Because all COVID-19-concerned patients are directed to the Jackson location’s secure COVID-19 Clinic, PQC in Milan has temporary hours: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

It plans to return to 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. seven days a week on June 1.
