SBSH To Provide Influenza & Covid Testing in Southampton, East Hampton & Shelter Island

Stony Brook Southampton Hospital will provide Influenza A, Influenza B and Covid PCR testing, by appointment only, at Parrish Memorial Hall in Southampton, East Hampton High School, and Shelter Island Meeting House Lane Medical Practice.

All testing is by appointment only and with a physician’s prescription.

“COVID-19 symptoms are similar to the flu and we are providing influenza testing because it is important to get the correct diagnosis,” said Fredric I. Weinbaum, MD, Chief Medical Officer and Chief Operating Officer, Stony Brook Southampton Hospital. “To help prevent the spread of COVID-19, wear a mask, maintain social distancing and wash your hands frequently. These measures, along with a flu vaccine, can also help prevent spreading the flu virus.”
