City of Alameda re-launches free COVID-19 testing services
Published on September 28, 2021
Starting Tuesday, October 5, the City of Alameda is once again partnering with NextGen Laboratories to provide free COVID-19 testing in the City of Alameda. Walk-ups and appointments are available.
Alameda residents and businesses are working hard to ensure the health and wellbeing of our community. We must continue to take steps to protect ourselves and each other, including testing, masking, and getting vaccinated. If you have signs or symptoms of COVID-19, you should get tested as soon as possible. Many people that have COVID-19 do not show symptoms, and testing is one way Alameda residents and workers will stop the spread of this disease. A positive test may tell you if you are infected and contagious now, and you can take preventative steps to stop the spread.
Schedule an appointment or drop-in!
WHO
Anyone over 2 years old is able to be tested. Individuals do not need to be experiencing symptoms to be tested and testing is done at no cost. If you have insurance, enter your plan information when you schedule your appointment. If you do not have insurance, government funding will cover all costs
