CDPHE is currently partnering with Kaiser Permanente to help provide COVID-19 testing to symptomatic health care workers and first responders, including those who are not Kaiser members, who do not have access to testing through their employer. Testing is available at eight locations between Loveland and Pueblo.
To schedule an appointment, contact CDPHE at 303-692-2700 and ask to speak with a clinical consultant about Kaiser testing. Once approved by CDPHE, you will be able to schedule an appointment at one of Kaiser’s testing tents if appointment slots are available. Tests are run at the CDPHE laboratory and results will be reported out by CDPHE directly to the patient.Information on the COVID-19 testing kit, meant for upper and lower respiratory specimens collected for persons who meet CDC criteria for testing. 3/9/20
