Testing

Did you know more than half of individuals who test positive for COVID-19 don’t exhibit symptoms? That’s why it’s important to test regularly. If your job or daily activities make it harder for you to social distance or increase your risk of contracting COVID-19, you may have the virus and not even know! Even if you don’t feel sick, the only way to know if you have COVID-19 and could possibly infect someone else is by getting tested.

There are several types of COVID-19 tests available, including tests given to you by healthcare professionals and free rapid tests you can take at home. Testing is free with most health insurance, and there are even certain programs in place to help New Mexicans access free at-home tests.
