COVID-19 testing

As COVID-19 cases rise due to the omicron variant, we understand the frustration people are experiencing as they try to get a COVID-19 test. An important reminder: Emergency departments at local hospitals are not places to get tested. Please only visit the emergency room for a medical emergency. If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms that are not severe: Stay home, mask up and get tested when possible.

If you are a Legacy Medical Group patient and are experiencing symptoms, schedule a video visit with your primary care doctor for next steps. We are not currently providing COVID testing for patients who do not have COVID-19 symptoms. If you do not have a primary care provider, you have a few options:

  • Schedule a virtual visit with Legacy-GoHealth Urgent Care.
  • Take an FDA approved at-home test. You can order four free rapid antigen tests from the federal government.
  • Schedule a test at a local testing center. Find a testing location in Oregon or Washington.


What to do if you test positive

The CDC recommends that people who test positive for COVID-19 should isolate for five days. If they are asymptomatic or if their symptoms resolve (without fever for 24 hours), they should wear a mask for five additional days to minimize the risk of infecting other people they encounter.
