How to get tested for COVID-19?

How to get tested for COVID-19?

There are many places in Fairfax County that offer free or low-cost health care that includes testing for COVID-19 . This is what to do:

 If you have a doctor, call him or her.

Your doctor will assess your health and determine if you need the test. Call before you go.

2. Choose a provider from the list of places that offer health care for the uninsured.

There are several places where patients with or without insurance are accepted, and where variable rates are offered if patients are low-income and uninsured. Priority is given to patients with symptoms associated with COVID-19. Visit our website to learn more about these test sites, including HealthWorks, Neighborhood Health, ADAMS Compassionate Healthcare Network, Culmore Clinic, and others.

3. Find your own doctor

Although your immediate concern might be to have access to a test for COVID-19, we recommend that you use this opportunity to find a doctor of your own, that is, a doctor who can take care of all the health problems of you and your family. In our area, there are many low-cost health care resources for people without health insurance. See: Coronavirus (COVID-19): Health Care Options for the Uninsured

4. Take care of all your health.

If you have financial or social problems that prevent you and your family from living a full and healthy life, seek help. The Fairfax County Coordinated Service Planning service offers Spanish-speaking counselors who can discuss your needs with you and can guide you on the services that are available to you. You can call them at 703-222-0880, TTY 711 (Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm).

5. Stay informed

If you have questions about COVID-19, call the Health Department Call Center at 703-267-3511. Our Spanish-speaking staff can give you information. You can sign up to receive updated information in Spanish by text directly to your mobile phone. Send a text message with the word FFXCOVIDESP to 888777. Also, be sure to visit our website in Spanish that has detailed information for you and your family to stay informed:
