COVID testing
Washington State Department of Health has established a call center to answer questions from the public about COVID-19. If you have questions about what is happening in Washington State, how the virus is spread and what to do if you have symptoms, call their hotline at 1-800-525-0127 and press #.
WHY TEST?
Apart from wearing a mask and practicing physical distancing, getting tested if you are concerned you may have COVID-19 is one of the most important things you can do to help slow the spread of COVID-19 in our community. Testing is the only way to know for sure if you have COVID-19.
WHEN TO TEST?
If you are concerned that you may have COVID-19 because you have symptoms, we recommend that you get tested right away. If you are concerned that you have COVID-19 because you know you had an exposure to someone who was diagnosed with COVID-19, we recommend that you get tested on day 5 after your exposure.
WHERE TO TEST?
Several testing options and locations are available in Whitman County. See our list of testing and assessment options below to find the option that fits your needs. If you have a primary care provider, we recommend contacting them to inquire about testing. Due to limited testing supplies and lab capacity nationwide, current protocol requires that only those meeting testing criteria be tested. Each testing location follows their own protocols.
