COVID-19 Testing

Douglas County residents with symptoms of COVID-19 or who have had a recent exposure to COVID-19 should get tested. Getting tested helps slow the spread of COVID-19 and allows you to protect others at risk of serious illness.

If you have expired COVID-19 at-home test kits, the expiration date may have been extended. Before discarding old test kits, check for an expiration date extension.

Over the Counter (Home) Test Kits

Home test kits are available locally and through mail order:

  • Free at-home COVID-19 rapid tests are available for order and shipment through the United States Postal Service®. As of September 26, 2024, each order will contain 4 tests and there is a limit of 1 order per residential address. Additional tests cannot be ordered regardless of the size of the household. Note that tests may show expired dates on the box, but FDA has extended those dates; see the full list of extended expiration dates.
  • Get at-home tests for Medicaid participants through Health First Colorado.
  • Tests are also available at local pharmacies.

No-Cost Testing Sites

The Increasing Community Access to Testing (ICATT) program provides no-cost testing sites to communities through a partnership between the federal government, state and local jurisdictions, and a federal testing contractor.

People without health insurance do not have to pay for COVID-19 testing at ICATT locations. The tests are billed to third-party payers, such as Medicare, Medicaid, and private health insurers, to increase program sustainability. Locate an ICATT testing site near you.

Test to Treat Program

The federal Test to Treat program allows you to get tested for COVID-19, get a prescription for treatment from a health care provider (if the test is positive and treatment is appropriate), and have your prescription filled – all at one location. Some Test to Treat locations may accept a positive at-home test or test from another provider. To be effective, COVID-19 treatments must begin early in the course of illness.

Test to Treat sites in Douglas County:

  • King Soopers Pharmacy, 5544 Promenade Parkway, Castle Rock, CO 80108, 303-562-9131
  • King Soopers Pharmacy, 17761 Cottonwood Dr. Parker, CO 80134, 303- 334-9548
  • King Soopers Pharmacy, 12959 S Parker Rd, Parker, CO 80134, 303-840-7683
  • King Soopers Pharmacy, 9551 S University Blvd, Littleton, CO 80126, 303-470-6445

Who Should Get Tested

If you have symptoms of COVID-19, which can feel like a cold, you should get tested immediately, even if you are up to date on your COVID-19 vaccines.

If you have been exposed to someone with COVID-19, wait five full days after you were exposed to get tested, even if you are up to date on your COVID-19 vaccines. If you develop symptoms, test immediately and begin isolation.
