Getting Tested for COVID-19

You can be tested for COVID-19 by local medical providers statewide, or at free testing sites held at various locations around the state. You can also test yourself or family members with home test kits

Testing at Local Clinics and Hospitals

These are not Mississippi State Department of Health testing sites. Local testing providers below have informed us that they are providing COVID-19 testing.

Cost: Individual test providers will set their own testing fee. Ask about the cost of testing when you call a test provider.

Before You Visit

You should call ahead before visiting to make testing arrangements with these providers.

After You Are Tested

If you have symptoms of COVID-19, you should isolate yourself while you wait for test results. If you have a sample taken at one of these locations, it is essential to remain at home and away from other family members as much as possible to prevent the possible spread of disease.
