Due to high demand, COVID-19 tests are available by appointment only.

COVID-19 testing hosted by W.A.R.4Life, We Are Ready for Life is done with no out of pocket cost (insurance will be billed). For those without insurance the tests are also available and are free.

WHO SHOULD GET TESTED?

Fully vaccinated individuals should get tested if they:

  • Are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19. Anyone experiencing symptoms should get tested immediately.

  • Have had close contact with someone who has COVID-19, even if they are not experiencing symptoms. You should get tested within 3-5 days after exposure.

  • Are traveling internationally and returning to the United States. Fully vaccinated international travelers are required to get tested three days before travel by air into the U.S. and should also get tested 3-5 days after their trip.


Unvaccinated individuals should get tested if they:

  • Are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19. Anyone experiencing symptoms should get tested immediately.

  • Have come in contact with someone who has COVID-19, even if they are not experiencing symptoms. If they do not have symptoms, they should wait at least six days after their last known exposure to COVID-19 before they get tested.

  • Take part in activities that put them at higher risk for COVID-19 because they cannot physically distance as needed to avoid exposure, such as travel, attending large social or mass gatherings, or being in crowded or poorly ventilated indoor settings.

It's important to keep an eye on your symptoms. Many people may only experience mild symptoms that can be managed at home, but some people can get seriously sick while ill with COVID-19.

Seek emergency care if you experience any of the following:

  • Difficulty breathing

  • Persistent chest pain

  • Inability to stay awake

  • Confusion

  • Bluish lips or face


What do i do if my test results are negative?

If a person was tested because they have symptoms, they should stay home until they have no fever without the use of fever-reducing medicines, and they have felt well for at least 24 hours.

If they were tested because of a known contact to someone with COVID-19, they should follow the quarantine guidance (stay home and avoid contact with other members of the household) until 14 days after their last exposure.

If they were tested for another reason and have no symptoms, they can resume their regular activities.

10 TIPS FOR AT HOME QUARANTINE OR SELF-MONITORING

Stay home from work, school, and away from public places.

Monitor for symptoms and take your temperature twice daily. If you develop symptoms or a fever, then call your healthcare provider immediately.

Get rest, stay hydrated, and exercise if possible. If you are able to exercise, do so in your home or yard. Avoid locations where you may come into contact with others.


If you have a medical appointment, call the healthcare provider ahead of time and tell them that you have been exposed to COVID-19.


For medical emergencies, call 9-1-1 and notify the dispatch personnel that you have been exposed to COVID-19.


Take everyday actions to prevent the spread of germs. Clean your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover your cough/sneeze. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.


As much as possible, stay in a specific room and away from other people and pets in your home. Use a separate bathroom, if available.


Avoid sharing personal items with other people in your household, like dishes, towels, and bedding.


Clean all surfaces that are touched often, like counters, tabletops, and doorknobs. Use household cleaning sprays or wipes according to the label instructions.


Make the best of your time at home by teleworking, if you’re able, or catching up on reading, exercising, or other hobbies.
