When and how will I receive results?
Estimated turnaround for results is 3-5 days. Please keep in mind that the exact timing may vary. You will receive a phone call. They will try to contact you three times. When you answer the call, they will ask to verify information, including date of birth or full address.
What if I don’t have symptoms but someone I know does?
Testing is only available to people who have symptoms and meet the criteria above.
Is this the only testing option?
No. This expands testing options, but does not replace existing testing offered by many local healthcare providers. We still encourage you to contact your medical provider by phone or online if you have symptoms. They may refer you for testing, but remember, not everyone needs to be tested and most people can recover at home.
How many people will be tested each day?
We can test a maximum of 250 people per day.
Are you testing for other illnesses, too?
No. This site is specifically for COVID-19 testing.
It says testing is full. What do I do?
We are working to add more appointments. Please monitor this page or social media for updates when more slots are released. If your symptoms worsen, please contact your healthcare provider for further instructions.
Why isn’t everyone being tested?
We have limited resources for testing (testing kits, staff, personal protective equipment for medical providers). We have to prioritize. For people who have mild symptoms, are not high risk, and are not working in a job that provides critical services, a positive test result would not change how they should handle their illness. Stay home, avoid contact with others, and make sure you are resting, hydrating and eating healthy meals. There is no vaccine or cure at this time. Read more about what to do if you have COVID-19.
