COVID-19 Testing

Anyone with any signs or symptoms of COVID-19 should get tested, regardless of vaccination status or prior infection. If you get tested because you have symptoms or were potentially exposed to the virus, you should stay away from others pending test results and follow the advice of your health care provider.

Testing is available at sites around Austin, including pharmacies, hospitals, urgent care centers, and free through Austin Public Health.
