How to Get Tested
If you are not experiencing symptoms but want a test to screen for COVID-19, consider an at-home self-test. Even if you have no symptoms, it is recommended that you have a self-test before and after travel or if you have been exposed to someone with COVID-19.
If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, have possibly been exposed, or need testing prior to a medical procedure, please visit us at one of the sites listed below. Hours and requirements vary by location.
Testing is prioritized and based on capacity. Priority goes to people who are having symptoms and those who have been exposed to COVID-19.
For additional testing locations, visit Testing (ca.gov).
