At this time, testing is prioritized for individuals who are sick with symptoms of fever, cough and shortness of breath where they need hospitalization, those who are close contacts of confirmed COVID-19 cases, and individuals who traveled to/from highly affected areas.
If you do not have symptoms,
testing is not recommended. Complete this

There are three types of testing sites:
- Community-based testing sites - These sites are open to all New Jerseyans who are experiencing symptoms of respiratory illness
- County testing sites - These sites may be restricted to residents or first responders of a specific county. Some also require an appointment and/or prescription from a healthcare provider.
- Private testing sites - To access testing at these sites, you must contact your doctor or healthcare provider.
NOTE: Each testing site operates on a schedule and has specific requirements. Please check with that site before visiting as you may be turned away.
