COVID-19 Testing Information
COVID-19 tests have become much more readily available for those who are showing symptoms of COVID-19, were exposed to someone who has tested positive or who needs a test for travel or other purposes. This page outlines some of the ways the Linfield community can obtain a COVID-19 test.
