If you need to get tested for COVID-19, you have options!  You and your doctor can choose among local hospitals, urgent care centers, private healthcare providers, and retail pharmacies, depending on how quickly you need the results and how much you want to spend.  Most have a screening process that you must complete before testing. Cost varies, so be sure to ask.  While waiting on test results, isolate yourself at home.

More testing sites and pop-up sites may become available in the future, so be sure to visit the Ohio Department of Health website at  coronavirus.ohio.gov. Choose the “Testing and Community Health Centers” tab to find additional testing locations.
