Coronavirus Testing - Rhode Island

• If you think you may have COVID-19, stay home and call your health care provider. Do not go directly to a health care facility without calling a provider unless you are experiencing a medical emergency.

• Testing is decided on a case by case basis, considering symptoms, travel history and contact history and is only available for people with symptoms.

• Specimens are collected by the provider, then sent to the Rhode Island Department of Health's State Health Laboratories for analysis.

• Results are generally available within 24 to 48 hours.

• For more coronavirus information call 401-222-8022 (available 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday), email RIDOH.COVID19Questions@health.ri.gov or visit the Rhode Island Department of Health's website.
