Where You Can Get Tested for COVID-19 in the Valley

A variety of coronavirus testing options in the Valley can tell you if you've contracted the virus — and many of them are free.

But this patchwork of services can be confusing to navigate. Some sites require appointments, others don't. (And whether you'll get your results quickly is another story.) To help you sort through it all, we've compiled a list of testing locations in the Valley. We'll update it over time, so let us know if we missed a specific testing location or service. Stay safe out there. And wear a mask.

Drive-through testing is available at this location by appointment only, and people experiencing COVID-19-like symptoms or are concerned about possible exposure to COVID-19 are encouraged to try and book an appointment via phone.
