*Please note-Community Testing Sites are not providing antibody testing at this time. The tests that the Community Testing Sites are using detect active infection of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. These tests are not antibody tests and will not tell you if you have previously have COVID and have now recovered.*
TESTING INFORMATION
- Anyone age 1 year and older may be tested at Free Community Testing Sites.
- The tests that the Community Testing Sites conduct are Molecular Tests (aka PCR Tests) to detect active infection of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
- These tests are not antibody tests and will not tell you if you have previously have COVID and have now recovered.
- We recommend testing for:
- People with COVID-19 Symptoms
- People who have had close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19
- People who have regular exposure to many people (such as people who work in grocery stores, restaurants)
- If you are getting tested because you are concerned that you may have been exposed, please wait 6-7 days after the possible exposure to get tested, unless you are experiencing symptoms.
- We do not recommend testing for:
- People who plan to attend a gathering and "want to make sure they're ok."
- Testing only tells you if you had COVID on the day you were tested. A negative test does not necessarily mean it is safe to gather with others. Remember it can take up to 14 days after exposure to develop symptoms-so you could be infectious a few days after a negative test. The best way to reduce the risk of getting and spreading COVID-19 is to avoid gathering with people you do not live with.
- People who want to get tested regularly for "peace of mind."
- Tests are in limited supply. We need to save our testing resources for symptomatic people, those who have been in close contact with confirmed cases, those who are regularly exposed to many people, and those who work with high-risk populations.
