Who Should Get Tested?

According to the CDC, individuals who have symptoms of COVID-19, or people who have come into close contact with someone with COVID-19 should be tested to check for infection:

• Fully vaccinated people should be tested 5–7 days after their last exposure.
• People who are not fully vaccinated should get tested immediately when they find out they are a close contact. If their test result is negative, they should get tested again 5–7 days after the last exposure or immediately if symptoms develop.
• Unvaccinated people who have taken 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.
• People who have been asked or referred to get tested by their healthcare provider.
