COVID-19 Testing Locations
Free testing is available in South King County regardless of immigration or insurance status. Registering online before going to a testing site is encouraged but not necessary.
COVID-19 vaccination is one of the most important tools to end the COVID-19 pandemic. The Washington State Department of Health has created Phase Finder, an online self-assessment so that someone can find out if they are eligible for vaccination. Phase Finder is currently only for those eligible for Phase 1a or Phase 1b1 but will be open to other priority groups as the state moves to new phases of vaccine distribution. Use Phase Finder to check your eligibility: findyourphasewa.org.
There’s a new online tool available to assess your COVID-19 risk: CV19 CheckUp. Your report will provide guidance from leading experts and organizations based on research, science, and recommendations published by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization.
Misinformation about coronavirus can create fear and hostility that hurts people and makes it harder to keep everyone healthy. We are stronger as a community when we stand together against discrimination.
