If you think you have coronavirus symptoms, or you're worried you've been exposed to the virus, call your primary care provider. A few screening questions may help determine if you need a test.
Always call ahead. Most places require an appointment. Some places that provide COVID-19 testing require a referral from a primary care provider.
These clinics now provide screening and limited testing for coronavirus (COVID-19):
- Primary Care Commonwealth Medical – call for information
- Stuarts Draft Family Practice – by referral only
- UVA Primary Care Riverside – walk-ins accepted, but call first
You can also request an online virtual visit with your provider or get virtual urgent care (12 - 2 p.m. weekdays) to get screened and, if needed, get a referral for a COVID-19 test.
Free COVID-19 Testing
