The Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH) has set up a hotline for people who are concerned about whether they need to be tested and where testing is available.

That number is 1-888-264-2256.

The ADPH also maintains a map of all ADPH-affiliated testing sites statewide, which can be seen by clicking here, clicking on the “test sites” tab at the bottom, then resizing the map until the individual test sites are visible. Click on a red icon to view information about a test site.

ADPH also still recommends anyone with symptoms like fever, cough and other respiratory issues to contact their physician, rather than showing up at a hospital ER or a doctor’s office.

COVID-19 testing through an ADPH-managed site is free with a referral from a health care provider. For other sites, including private practices and urgent care centers, patients should contact their insurance provider to find out whether testing is covered.
