Testing for COVID-19
Getting tested for COVID-19, and getting the next steps if you test positive can save lives. It can protect your health and the health of your family, friends, neighbors, and many others.

Guidance from health care experts suggests you get tested regularly, even without symptoms, if you’re living in some of our most populated cities and towns, especially if you live in close proximity to others.

COVID-19 Contact Tracing
If you test positive, you can expect a call from a contact tracer, and to have a detailed conversation with them about who you have been in contact with. Conversations with contact tracers can save lives, and stop the spread of COVID-19. Calls from a contact tracer will show up on your phone as CTCOVIDTRACE, or maybe from your local health department. You should know that your personal health information will be protected in this process.

Contact tracers will not ask you to call a “1-900” or “900” number, will not contact you via social media, and will not ask you for financial information.
