Home Tests

Ordering for free COVID tests via the COVIDtests.gov website has been suspended. All orders placed on or before March 8 will be delivered. Learn more. Before you throw out "expired" tests, check to see if your COVID-19 tests' expiration dates have been extended.

Testing Sites

Search for a location that offers no-cost COVID-19 testing at testinglocator.cdc.gov. For clinic times at county health departments, visit Locations.

Test to Treat Sites

After testing positive and seeing a healthcare provider, eligible individuals going to Test to Treat sites can immediately receive a prescription for oral COVID-19 treatment and fill that prescription – all at one location in a participating site. A Test to Treat Lo​c​ato​​r is available to help find participating sites. Learn more at Test to Treat.
