Registration is required before visiting the testing booths.

Participants will be given a test kit, asked to self-administer the oral fluid swab kit on-site, then return the kit to the testing booth staff. Test results are typically returned within 48 hours.

• Do I know the screening criteria for the public/drive-thru testing site?
• Do I know the operating hours for the public/drive-thru testing site?
• Do I know if I need a referral from my doctor before I visit the public/drive-thru testing site?
• Do I know if the public/drive-thru testing site is covered by my insurance provider and/or how the billing process works?
• Do I know what type of test is offered at the public/drive-thru testing site?
• Do I know how to get my testing results?

Call ahead or visit the testing site website for information, as screening criteria and operating hours may change.

If you have been tested for COVID-19, take the following steps to monitor your health and avoid spreading the disease to others.

If you have symptoms of COVID-19:

• While waiting for the results of your test, your household contacts should stay at home. (If household contacts are healthcare workers, they are encouraged to contact their employer. They may still be allowed to work while wearing a mask).
• Stay in a specific room and away from other people in your home to the extent possible. Use a separate bathroom, if available. Household members can consider staying in a separate location, if available, to decrease their risk of exposure.
• For more information, see the CDC's guidance on preventing the spread of COVID-19 at home.
• If you must leave home, such as to seek medical care, wear a surgical mask if available.
• If your results are positive, you will need to isolate for 14 days from the time your symptoms started.
