The CDC recommends testing if you have symptoms of COVID-19 or have had close contact with someone who is confirmed positive for COVID-19. If you still would like to get tested, consider one of the following resources:

Testing results varies by test type, location, and lab processing volume.

If you test positive for COVID-19 you will need to stay home and self-isolate. This means you should avoid contact with others in your household, including pets. You should self-isolate until you meet the criteria to be around others. The CDC isolation guidelines can be found here. Talk to your doctor about when you should discontinue self-isolation.

Even if your test is negative, it may still be recommended that you quarantine or mask in public for a certain period of time after exposure. Learn more about the CDC guidelines here.
