Below is a list of urgent cares & emergency departments open during shelter-in-place.
If you believe you have been exposed to COVID-19 and/or not sick and/or are mildly ill and can manage with self-care, please stay home, hydrate, and take care of yourself. You may call your PCP and/or local urgent care center regarding your symptoms to see if testing is available. You may also call your local public health department for additional guidance. Call first before attempting to seek testing/care.
On the other hand if short of breath, very sick, have multiple health conditions and/or”comorbidities”, or having a traditional emergency like chest pain or acute injury, call 911 or go to the Emergency Department
