This page provides you with key information about COVID-19 testing including:
For information about contact tracing please visit our Contact Tracing page.
For questions about testing or other COVID related topics please fill out and submit our Coronavirus/COVID-19 Inquiry Form.
Currently, there are two types of diagnostic tests which detect the virus – molecular tests, such as RT-PCR, that detect the virus’s genetic material, and antigen tests, such as rapid tests, that detect specific proteins on the surface of the virus. Rapid tests may be molecular or antegen tests. To decide which test is right for you, read more about the different kinds of tests from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Some sites are now offering COVID-19 antibody testing for those who have had a postitive test result or think they may have had COVID-19 and recovered.
PLEASE NOTE: Antibodies can take several days or weeks to develop after you have an infection and may stay in your blood for several weeks or more after recovery. Because of this, antibody tests should not be used to diagnose an active coronavirus infection. At this time researchers do not know if the presence of antibodies means that you are immune to the coronavirus in the future. Read more from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Each collection site description below includes what type of test will be conducted, if available, as well as the site's eligibility criteria - be sure to read the full description and list of requirements BEFORE visiting a collection site. Information changes frequently based on demand, please verify all details with the specific site.

Antibody tests are offered seven days per week, 8am-8pm. Due to high demand for COVID-19 testing, wait times may be longer than usual.
With the increase in COVID-19 cases, our public health team is working around the clock on case investigation. Even with additional staff, you might not hear from contact tracers as quickly as we’d like. To alleviate the already-overwhelmed contact tracing and case investigation apparatus, we have partnered with Rumble Up, a texting platform, to help notify positive cases within the county.
If you test positive for COVID-19, and provided your cell phone number at the time you were tested for COVID-19, we will send you a free text message:

New York State has announced they will follow new CDC guidelines regarding those who have received a full COVID-19 vaccine (second dose of two-dose series vaccine, or one dose of a single-dose vaccine). Those fully vaccinated should continue to social distance, wear masks, wash hands, avoid crowds etc, because of the lack of information on whether or not the vaccines protect against emerging varients of COVID-19.
New York State is allowing travelers to New York to “test out” of the mandatory 10-day travel advisory quarantine. Travelers from contiguous states, including Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Vermont, are exempt from the travel advisory; however covered travelers must continue to fill out the Traveler Health Form. Essential workers will continue to be exempt as well. Read the State’s travel advisory and guidance.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to high demand for testing, not all testing sites are offering testing for travel/return to work. Additionally, testing is not REQUIRED, but is an option to ‘test out’ of the mandatory 10-day quarantine required by the travel advisory.
