Please read below for the latest information we have on local testing sites. Thank you!
*Some providers are saying vaccinated need to have a PCR test.
Also, some providers are saying to wait for 24 hours because some people are testing too soon. Again, this depends on the nature of your illness/symptoms. If you are extremely ill, do not wait 24 hours.
