COVID-19 Testing Sites

COVID-19 testing sites are locations where individuals can get tested for the virus that causes COVID-19. These sites may be set up by health departments, hospitals, or private organizations. Testing is typically done through a nasal swab or saliva sample, which is then analyzed in a lab. The results help determine if someone is currently infected, which is crucial for controlling the spread of the virus. Testing can also identify individuals who are asymptomatic and may unknowingly spread the virus to others, helping to protect public health.
