No-cost COVID-19 testing is widely available in Anaheim and throughout the county. It is available to anyone, with or without symptoms, and to both those with and without health insurance.

The sites offer swab testing, also known as polymerise chain reaction, or PCR, testing.

Swab testing is the standard for determining whether someone is currently infected with COVID-19.

For those with insurance, insurers will be billed with no out-of-pocket cost for those being tested.

For those without insurance, federal funding will cover the cost of testing.

Anaheim's main testing sites are City Hall and the Anaheim Convention Center. Testing is also offered in neighborhoods and at schools in some of our most impacted neighborhoods through Latino Health Access.

As we move forward with additional reopening, testing is more important than ever to ensure that those who test positive can be aware of it and isolate. This helps stem the spread of the virus in the community.
