Testing Options and Locations

If you are concerned that you may have COVID-19 because you have symptoms, we recommend that you test right away. If you are concerned that you have COVID-19 because you know you had an exposure to someone who tested positive for COVID-19, we recommend that you get tested 3-5 days after exposure, regardless of vaccination status. If testing with an at-home test and you receive a negative result on your first test, take a second test within 24-48 hours.

In-Person Testing and Over-the-Counter Tests

Several testing options and locations are available in Spokane County, including local clinics and pharmacies offering testing, low- and no-cost options, and over-the-counter at-home testing kits.

• If you have a primary care provider, contact them to inquire about testing, or contact a local pharmacy.
• You can also purchase over-the-counter (at-home) tests at most pharmacies. See the at-home testing tab above for more information about at-home tests.
