SUMTER COUNTY, Fla. – Pat and Don Cupitt were one of the first residents to sign up for the voluntary testing being held at Sumter Senior Living in The Villages.
They say they were thankful they didn’t have to go far to get it. And say as far as they know, their Medicare coverage covers it since they didn’t have to pay any money when they took the test. "It doesn't really hurt, it's just uncomfortable," said Pat Cupitt. "It gives you peace of mind." "The biggest and hardest thing is to wait the 12 hours for the results," said Don Cupitt. "So it really gives us a lot of confidence.
We don't know anyone not getting one of the tests." The voluntary tests are some of the first to be offered to people who are not showing any signs or symptoms
