Anyone in Berkeley with COVID-19 symptoms can now get tested for free at a City of Berkeley testing site.
The nine possible symptoms identified by the CDC include:
●
Cough
●
Shortness of breath
●
Fever
●
Chills
●
Repeated shaking with chills
●
Muscle pain
●
Headache
●
Sore throat

If you have a health care provider, first call them to get tested as capacity has greatly expanded in recent weeks. Your provider will always be the source of any follow-up care or advice.
Those with or without a health care provider who have symptoms can call a City nurse who will screen calls. We will test symptomatic children who are at least 2 years old. A Berkeley Public Health nurse will screen callers and schedule an appointment at our West Berkeley site.
