Who should get tested? Anyone who is experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 or has been in close contact with someone who has tested positive. The community testing site is available to any Wisconsin resident, five years of age and older.
STAY HOME WHILE WAITING FOR YOUR RESULTS. While you're waiting for your test results, it's important that you isolate yourself. Do not have contact with others. Do not go to work, meet up with friends or attend gatherings. Isolating yourself will prevent spread of the virus should you test positive.
When will I get my results? You should receive a phone call or email within 3-7 business days. If you test positive Public Health staff will call to guide you.
Have you been waiting more than 5 days for your results ? Do you need a copy of your test results? Call the Wisconsin COVID-19 Results Line at 866-419-6988, Monday-Friday, 8 AM–6 PM. If you call prior to 5 days after your test, they cannot guarantee your results will be ready.

What's New
(Updated Tuesdays & Thursdays)
-

-
Q: Should I stay home if I was in another country or a U.S. state during the last 14 days?
-
A: Canceling or postponing travel, even within the state, is still recommended as COVID-19 continues to spread. There is no state-level requirement for travelers (domestic or international) to quarantine when arriving in Wisconsin. If you’ve traveled out of your community and interacted with others, it's recommended that you self-monitor your health and follow state and local COVID-19 prevention practices, such as social distancing, wearing face coverings, and good hand hygiene. Check with your employer prior to travel for any post-travel requirements they may have.

If you received a positive COVID-19 test result and are waiting to hear from a Public Health Contact Tracer, please stay home, separate from others in your house, have your phone ready, and start putting together a list of your close contacts. Do not go to work and if you have a child that tested positive, do not send them to class. Click here for a guide to help you determine next steps if you tested positive.

How to Protect Yourself from COVID-19
- Wear a mask.
- Stay at least 6 feet apart from people you do not live with.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially before eating and after going to the bathroom, blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing.
- If you do not have soap and water, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Do not attend gatherings with people you do not live with.
- Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. Cough or sneeze into an elbow if no tissue is available. Wash your hands.
