RALEIGH, N.C., Dec. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Viruses tend to surge during the fall and winter months, and coronavirus is no different, unfortunately. As the country experiences a winter COVID wave just in time for the holidays, many people nationwide may feel anxious or worried about COVID. What can you do if you have symptoms or think you have been exposed?

In most communities across the nation, free investigational healthcare services are available to help patients who have been impacted by COVID or wish to avoid getting sick, even those who may have been directly exposed to the coronavirus. While a vaccine is not yet available to all citizens nationwide, many free services for COVID testing, investigational vaccines, and treatments are available in some communities where there are medical clinics and academic centers conducting clinical research studies for COVID treatments, tests, and vaccines.

How do you know if you are in one of these areas where you can obtain complimentary cutting-edge COVID-related healthcare services?

If any of the following applies to you, visit www.CovidStudies.org to see if there are studies near you, and how to reach a clinic.

You are 18 years of age or older and have some of the classic symptoms of COVID, such as a cough, headache, or body aches, that started within the past seven (7) days, and need free COVID testing or investigational treatment. If you've already tested positive, but would like to help develop new COVID tests, you may come in for a new test and earn $100.00
You have been exposed to the virus – someone in your household or dorm tested positive within the past four (4) days. If this describes you, you may be eligible for free investigational treatment, which could prevent you from getting sick or potentially minimize your symptoms and severity of illness if you do contract COVID.
You have recently tested positive for COVID, and would like investigational, placebo-controlled treatment for a potential more rapid recovery, to reduce symptoms, and/or prevent a hospital stay.
You are an essential worker and/or you are around people regularly and would like to protect yourself against the virus proactively via an investigational vaccine.
