Covid-19 Testing FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Testing

Here are some Frequently Asked Questions to help you learn more about COVID-19 testing.

Should I get tested?

If you’ve been exposed to or are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, you should get tested, especially if you belong to a high risk group

What can I expect from my test?

Depending on the testing resources available, the test will collect saliva, a nasal swab, or nasopharyngeal swab

When can I expect my results, and how can I stay safe until I have them?

Results can be expected in 24-72 hours depending on the type of test. Before you get your results, be sure to wear a mask, maintain social distance, and wash your hands often

Why is testing important?

Although vaccination efforts are well underway, variants will pose a threat until we can get enough people vaccinated. Testing and identifying, isolating and treating cases of COVID-19 will help us keep cases low, and help stop the spread of dangerous variants

I’m vaccinated: Do I still need to get tested?

Vaccinations make serious illness from COVID-19 very unlikely. However, if you are a vaccinated person that has symptoms of COVID-19, you should still consider getting tested, especially if you are a member of a high-risk group.

When should I seek medical attention?

If you or a loved one develop any emergency warning signs, it’s advised that you seek medical attention immediately. Signs include:

Trouble breathing
Persistent pain or pressure in the chest
New confusion or inability to arouse
Bluish lips or face

Please note this list is not exhaustive. Please consult your medical provider or seek emergency medical services if you experience severe or concerning symptoms.
