COVID-19 Testing

Community Testing Events

CLICK HERE TO VIEW COVID-19 TESTING SITES IN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY

Community COVID-19 testing sites are being held throughout San Bernardino County. Samples will be collected using a swab in the nostril. These samples are then sent to a lab to test for the virus that causes COVID-19 (SARS‑CoV‑2 virus). Events are free of charge and do not require health insurance.

You will be asked for health insurance information when registering so that your insurance is billed directly. You will not be charged a co-pay or share of the cost of the test. If you do not have insurance or do not want to provide it, you will still get tested.

If you have health insurance, please check with your primary healthcare provider for COVID-19 testing options. Your provider/health insurance may be able to provide testing options, locations, and/or dates/times that are more convenient for you and your family. 

Please note: The use of a face covering is required at all testing sites.
