WILMINGTON, Del. – Governor John Carney, the Delaware Division of Public Health (DPH), and the Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA) announced the list of community testing sites throughout Delaware next week. Testing locations listed below include pop-up and Curative trailer sites, as well as community sites hosted by New Castle County.

“Testing is the best way to track the spread of COVID-19 and monitor for outbreaks. But it’s not a replacement for basic public health measures during a pandemic,” said Governor Carney. “Wear a mask. Wash your hands. Avoid gathering with friends and family outside of your household. I know this holiday season is different and it’s hard. But stay vigilant and we’ll get through this.”

DEMA has coordinated community sites this week in addition to sites at Walgreens and at various hospitals and health care locations. Delawareans can view a full list of COVID-19 testing options and locations at de.gov/gettested.

Delawareans are encouraged to check the State of Delaware’s new testing calendar for updates as more pop-up testing locations are confirmed.

Testing sites with a fixed schedule, such as pharmacies, may have different holiday hours. Please check with the testing location ahead of time to confirm availability.

In the event of inclement weather, testing location updates will be posted to the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services’ social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram).

WILMINGTON, Del. – Governor John Carney, the Delaware Division of Public Health (DPH), and the Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA), announced a substantial list of community testing sites this week. Testing locations include pop-up and Curative trailer sites.

“Testing for COVID-19 is the best way to track the spread of the virus and respond to potential outbreaks,” said Governor Carney. “Whether or not you have symptoms, we encourage you to get tested for COVID-19 at a site near you, and to continue to follow basic health precautions so we can slow the spread. Keep wearing your masks in public. Wash or sanitize your hands frequently. Keep your distance and avoid gatherings with those outside of your household. Stay home if you’re sick.”

DEMA has coordinated 15 community sites this week in addition to sites at Walgreens and at various hospitals and health care locations. Delawareans can view a full list of COVID-19 testing locations and reserve a spot at de.gov/gettested.

“Since May, we have tested over 300,000 people through community sites,” said A.J. Schall, Director of the Delaware Emergency Management Agency. “With the use of both pop-up and static sites, we continue to refine our testing plan. New trailers were recently added to ensure that there is convenient testing for those who need it, when they need it.”

Pop-up testing locations at schools to prepare for in-person learning 

WILMINGTON, Del. – Governor John Carney on Friday announced pop-up school testing locations as many schools prepare to return to school for in-person learning as part of their hybrid return-to-school plan.

View calendar of pop-up testing locations for students and families.

View calendar of current pop-up, permanent and other available testing locations.

“Our goal is to get more Delaware children into school for in-person learning – especially our youngest learners and disadvantaged children who need in-person instruction the most,” said Governor Carney. “These pop-up testing locations will help us safely bring back students and educators into the classroom. Delawareans can help students and educators return safely by staying vigilant. Wear a mask. Wash your hands. Keep your distance from those outside your household. Get tested, even if you don’t have symptoms.”

The school pop-up testing locations will use Curative tests (saliva-based oral swabs). Delawareans can register for the pop-up tests at delaware.curativeinc.com. Test results are generally available 48-72 hours after Curative receives the test.

While many of the pop-up testing locations are aimed for students and school communities, members of the public can also register for a test at the school locations.

The State of Delaware has a variety of testing options available for Delawareans:

• Nasal Swab Tests (front-of-the-nostril swab) – Available at select Walgreens and Public Health Clinic permanent testing sites. Additional health care provider testing sites may offer deep nasal swab testing.
• Curative Tests (saliva-based oral swab) – Available at pop-up school and community testing locations and select State Service Center permanent testing sites. 
• At-home tests (saliva collection) – Available for Delawareans residents, especially for Delawareans over the age of 60, those in high-risk groups, and anyone who has been in a large gathering. 

Delawareans over the age of 18 are encouraged to download COVID Alert DE, Delaware’s free exposure notification app to help protect your neighbors while ensuring your privacy. Download on the App Store or Google Play. 

Anyone with a question about COVID-19, whether related to medical or social service needs, should call Delaware 2-1-1. Individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing can text their ZIP code to 898-211.
