Coronavirus Testing
Help Stanislaus County move forward and open safely. COVID-19 tests are quick, easy, and free.
Community-wide testing is a critical step towards moving into the next tiers. Widespread testing provides a more accurate picture of how many cases exist in our community. It allows us to identify cases and increase our understanding of COVID-19 community transmission so we can be prepared in stopping an outbreak.
