Testing
- The Federal program of ordering free COVID home tests through the mail has been suspended to preserve remaining supply. The program is no longer accepting orders. The site, www.covid.gov/tests contains directions for other testing resources.
- Home Test Kits can be purchased locally with the cost covered by most insurance.
Treatment
If you test positive and are more likely to get very sick from COVID-19, treatments are available that can reduce your chances of being hospitalized or dying from the disease. Medications to treat COVID-19 must be prescribed by a healthcare provider and started as soon as possible after diagnosis to be effective. Contact a healthcare provider to determine if you are eligible for treatment.
