COVID-19 testing

Text

We offer COVID-19 testing for those with or without symptoms. You will need an order from an Everett Clinic doctor or healthcare provider to get tested. The current time for results is less than 24 hours, but can take up to 72 hours.

We offer TMA (transcription-mediated amplification) testing. This is a nasal swab test. It meets NAT/NAAT test rules. It's very sensitive and can find small amounts of the virus that causes COVID-19.
