COVID-19 testing
Curative van known as “Western Garfield free Covid testing” to utilize nasal swab testing for symptomatic people only
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) announced earlier this week that it will no longer use Curative testing for residential facilities, due to concerns regarding test accuracy.
Testing for COVID is available throughout Garfield County
• If you have COVID symptoms, get tested within 1-2 days of symptoms starting
• You must isolate while waiting for a test result to come back.
• You may still be told to isolate or quarantine even if you have a negative test, depending on the situation. Sometimes tests yield false positives or false negatives, therefore, follow your physician or Public Health’s recommendations.
• Public Health cannot provide you with COVID-19 test results. The provider that administered the test will provide those to you. Public Health staff provide the contact tracing investigations and contact people once they have had a positive test result. For general COVID questions, call Public Health at 970-625-5200 or 970-945-6614.
Testing is available by appointment at locations across Garfield County (shown below). If you do not have a medical provider, please contact Mountain Family Health Center.
