Flu & Strep Testing
at Home in New York

Care2U provides flu and strep testing at home across NYC, helping you get answers for fever, sore throat, and body aches without leaving the house. Our licensed clinicians arrive same-day to test, evaluate, and begin treatment at home.

ABOUT FLU & STREP CARE

Specialized Flu & Strep Testing support — without leaving home.

Our clinicians evaluate your symptoms through a full in-home assessment, including vital signs, a throat exam, and a review of your medical history.
Common symptoms assessed include fever, sore throat, body aches, chills, cough, congestion, fatigue, and swollen glands.
When appropriate, we can perform rapid flu and strep testing, administer medications, provide IV fluids, and coordinate antibiotic or antiviral prescriptions during your visit.
If your symptoms suggest a more serious illness, a supervising provider joins virtually to review findings and determine whether additional care is needed.
Before leaving, your clinician reviews discharge instructions, explains how to prevent spreading illness at home, and coordinates follow-up with your primary provider.

Care Guide

When Flu & Strep Testing at home is the right choice.

At-home flu and strep testing is ideal when you're feeling unwell and need answers without spreading illness or sitting in a waiting room. Care2U brings same-day testing and treatment across NYC.
Assess your urgency: If you have a fever, sore throat, or flu-like symptoms and need same-day testing for a non-life-threatening illness, in-home care is a safe and effective option.
You prefer to recover in comfort: Traveling while sick is exhausting and risks exposing others. Our clinicians come directly to your home so you can be tested and treated while you rest.
You want continuity of care: We coordinate antibiotic or antiviral prescriptions when appropriate, update your primary provider after your visit, and help arrange follow-up care if your symptoms need further attention.
