Call your health care provider or county health department if you are symptomatic to determine the need for testing.
To be prioritized for testing, patients must meet the state’s criteria, which evaluates a combination of symptoms and risk factors. Their samples will be sent to the closest laboratory.
If you don’t meet priority criteria, you can discuss with your provider about possibly getting tested at a commercial laboratory (e.g. LabCorp or Quest).
State lab results are generally available within 24-48 hours. Commercial labs can take three to four days. Turnaround time can be affected by demand.
