COVID-19 Testing Information
COVID-19 testing is available at all CNCHC Clinics.
Tests are administered with kits that utilize nucleic acid amplification such as RT-PCR (Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction) and/or TMA (Transcription Mediated Amplification) for the detection of SARS-CoV-2.
More than 30,000 tests have been administered since the roll-out of our testing program with constant analysis of the epidemiological trends across our service areas.
All test results include information from the corresponding laboratory on the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) and validation.
Who should get tested?

- People who have symptoms of COVID-19.
- People who have had close contact (within 6 feet for a total of 15 minutes or more) with someone with confirmed COVID-19.
