COVID-19 Testing in Oregon
Together we can stop the spread of COVID-19
Find a testing site in Oregon
Are you wondering where you can find a COVID-19 testing site? OHA is partnering with
Google, Castlight and local public health authorities to help you find local information about where testing is available.
While we are working hard to keep the information about where Oregonians can get a
COVID-19 test as up to date as possible, you should contact the site first to make sure testing
is still occurring. OHA cannot guarantee that you will be able to get tested at one of these sites.
It is always best to contact your health care provider about getting a COVID-19 test.
Call before you go
If you have flu-like symptoms or have reason to think you might have COVID-19, let your healthcare provider know before you visit. This will help avoid exposing anyone else at the provider’s facility.
What if I think I’ve been exposed?
If you think you have been exposed to COVID-19, and you develop fever, cough or trouble
breathing, stay away from other people, so you don’t get them sick.
Call your health care provider or a clinic right away.
They can help you determine whether you need medical evaluation, including testing.
What if I test positive?
Your healthcare provider and public health staff will give you information about how to keep from spreading the virus to your family and friends. You will need to isolate yourself from other people for as long as public health instructs. You will also need to avoid coughing on others and to wash your hands frequently, to protect them from infection.
You will receive a call from a case investigator at your local public health authority who will talk with you about how to prevent the spread of the virus, including staying home or at a location provided by public health until the danger has passed; provide health information on how to care for yourself; and share resources available in your community that can support you while you self-isolate.
How much will a COVID-19 test cost?
Most health insurance companies will waive co-payments, co-insurance, and deductibles for COVID-19 testing. If you have questions about your health insurance coverage, contact your health insurance provider.
