DON’T WAIT. If you have COVID-19 symptoms, get tested. Treatment works best when started as soon as possible after symptoms start and before symptoms worsen.  

• COVID-19 treatments can lower risk of severe illness and hospitalization and work best when taken soon after symptoms begin.  

How to get COVID-19 treatments:  

• If you have symptoms, call your health care provider right away to ask about testing and if you qualify for COVID-19 treatments. 
• Stay home and isolate away from others to avoid making them sick. 
• If you don’t have a health care provider or don’t hear back from your provider within a few days, visit a Test to Treat location to get rapid testing and find out if treatments are right for you. 
• If you are uninsured, get free care at an Test-to-Treat location.
