Are you eligible for free Covid-19 testing?
Monday, June 1, 2020 by Tai Moses
The city is encouraging community members to fill out the public enrollment testing form to see if they’re eligible for a no-cost Covid-19 test. An online self-assessment is required first; eligibility will be determined by symptoms and risk factors. You may fill out the self-assessment for a family member, if necessary. There are no questions about immigration status and the test and assessment are free. A one-minute video explains the process (available in Spanish). Those who are approved for free testing may schedule an appointment at a drive-thru testing site. You must be in a vehicle to use the test site. Find more information here.
