Check with your county to see if they have locations. We are in Lee county and they have two locations, it is done through Nomi Health. The one we go to does testing Monday-Saturday 7:00-7:00. We did the antigen test and had results emailed and text to me in about 30 minutes.

Yes, the ID Now test is acceptable.  Look at the Royal website - click on the information about protocols section (white banner at the very top of the home page).  Follow it thru to "accepted" tests - and then look down to a paragraph about the Abbott tests.  There is says that all Abbott tests are acceptable, including the ID Now.

More on Abbott Brand Tests

We get a lot of questions about Abbott tests, the most commonly available COVID-19 test brand. Here’s what’s accepted.

Any Abbott brand test administered on site by a pharmacy technician or other health professional is accepted. This includes the common Abbot ID NOW test administered by many pharmacies. The test provider must provide you with a proper results document (no handwritten notes).

The Abbott BinaxNow COVID-19 Ag Card Test, which is taken at home and supervised by a telemedicine professional, is accepted. It must be taken under live video supervision. Learn more about our Abbott telehealth home test kit.

The Abbott BinaxNow COVID-19 Antigen Self-Test, if taken at home and not supervised by a telehealth representative, is NOT accepted.
