COVID-19 TESTING

Where To Get A Test For COVID-19

Students or staff who exhibit symptoms of COVID-19 or are concerned that they may have been exposed to the virus will be referred to their primary healthcare provide or local clinic/urgent care center for testing.

New York offers multiple test sites throughout the state. Testing is free and available to all eligible New Yorkers statewide as ordered by a health care provider or by calling the NYS COVID-19 hotline at 1-888-364-3065.

Individuals who might prefer test sites operated by the local government or private companies (including pharmacies, medical practices, or not-for-profit organizations) are advised to contact the testing site and check with their insurance carrier in advance to confirm they will not be responsible for any fees associated with a test1.

Your local health department is your community contact for COVID19 concerns2.

We encourage you to visit the NYS website for further information.
