U.S. Navy Hospitalman Jesus Ayalalara, a general duty corpsman at Naval Health Clinic Cherry Point, puts on personal protective equipment before assessing a possible Coronavirus (COVID-19) patient at the respiratory triage clinic, Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina, Aug. 6, 2020. Phillipson said the flu tests he learned to administer in medical homeport were very similar to the COVID-19 test. He continued to say having the knowledge on how to properly carry out throat swabs and strep tests, in case COVID-19 wasn’t the issue, was also a helpful skill he learned to better help his patients.
