COVID-19 Testing
Updated on 1/23/23
Latest Updates
Our drive-thru COVID-19 testing sites have closed for the season.
For mild respiratory symptoms, testing before travel or a medical procedure, or if you have been exposed to someone with COVID-19, please consider using an at-home antigen test (which is normally the best course even when PCR testing is available).
PCR testing is typically recommended when directed by a provider.
If you test positive for COVID-19, stay home and follow the self-isolation guidelines from the CDC.
In addition, consider talking to your primary care provider to see if you are eligible for treatment, especially if you are considered high-risk.
If you test positive for COVID-19, stay home and self-isolate. If possible, use a separate bathroom and avoid sharing personal household items. See more guidelines from the CDC.
In addition, contact your primary care provider or submit a COVID-19 Outpatient Therapeutics Patient Self-Referral Form to see if you should receive the Paxlovid treatment, which should be taken within the first 5 days of testing positive. Once you submit the form, a team member will contact you within 24 to 48 hours.
If your first COVID-19 test results are negative, repeat the test 48 hours later.
