COVID-19 Testing

COVID-19 testing can help you know if you have COVID-19 so you can decide what to do next, such as seeking treatment to lessen your risk of severe illness and taking actions to prevent the virus from spreading to others.

Testing is available at certain locations, or you can purchase self-test (at-home rapid antigen tests) online or in pharmacies and retail stores. Some private health insurance companies may reimburse for at-home tests. Contact your insurance directly to verify your insurance coverage. Before Throwing Out "Expired" COVID-19 at-home tests, check here to see if your tests’ expiration date has been extended.

COVID-19 Treatments

  • Vaccination is the number one best way to protect yourself from severe outcomes due to COVID-19, but there are also treatments available for those who get sick. If these treatments are started within 5 days of getting symptoms, they can help people avoid getting very sick, going to the hospital, or dying.
  • Treatments used for COVID-19 MUST be prescribed by your healthcare provider. Don’t go to a pharmacy or treatment center without a prescription. If you test positive for COVID-19, including on a home test, and are 65 years or older, pregnant, or have an underlying condition that puts you at high risk of severe COVID-19 outcomes, contact your healthcare provider right away to talk about treatment options. If you have an emergency warning sign (like trouble breathing or chest pain), call 911 and seek emergency medical care immediately.
