Note: I have not personally been to any of the testing sites mentioned except PM Pediatrics. This guide has been compiled through online research on different testing sites and the suggestion is to call each facility to confirm specifics on tests since things are always changing. Call your local physician and pediatrician's office to ask for a suggested location for Covid-19 testing if you are experiencing symptoms.
