Coronavirus Testing
COVID-19 tests are quick, easy, and free.
Widespread testing provides a more accurate picture of how many cases exist in our community. It allows us to identify cases and increase our understanding of COVID-19 community transmission so we can be prepared in stopping an outbreak.
Who should get tested?
You can get tested in the following situations:
Regardless of Vaccination Status:
- If you work in a healthcare setting, including hospital, clinics, skilled nursing facilities, or other healthcare settings.
- If you had close contact with someone with COVID-19 and you live in a congregate setting, such as a homeless shelter or college dorm
- If you had close contact with someone with COVID-19 and you work in a high-density workplace, such as a factory
- If you are having COVID-19 symptoms
If you’re unvaccinated:
- If you had any close contact with someone with COVID-19
- If you work somewhere where you are at high risk of encountering someone with COVID-19, such as congregate living spaces, public transit, restaurants, and retail.
