The tests are self-administered PCR oral swabs; results are texted or e-mailed within 48 hours. Due to delays, results may take up to 72 hours at times. Residents will need to register ahead of time in order to guarantee a test and bring their insurance cards and a photo ID. Testing is free, with no out-of-pocket costs. Individuals without insurance will not be turned away. Appointments can be scheduled online through Curative’s website: www.curative.com

At-Home Testing
The State of Wisconsin and Vault Medical Services have teamed up to offer a new COVID-19 testing option for everyone who lives in Wisconsin, with or without symptoms, at no cost. This new service allows people to collect their own saliva samples for testing in their home.

Step 1: Request an at-home collection kit HERE
- A collection kit will be delivered directly to your home; PO boxes are not eligible to have kits delivered.
Step 2: Collect your sample
- Once you receive your collection kit, you must collect the sample in the presence of a licensed health care professional over a virtual Zoom call (Download Zoom). Once you have downloaded Zoom and are ready to produce a saliva sample, you may join a virtual waiting room.
Step 3: Send in your sample
- After you have collected your saliva sample, you will need to drop off your collection kit at a UPS drop-off location on the same day as the collection.

Employers

Per CDC guidance: Sick employees should follow steps to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Employees should not return to work until they meet the criteria to discontinue home isolation and have consulted with a healthcare provider.

Employers should not require a sick employee to provide a negative COVID-19 test result or healthcare provider's note to return to work. Employees with COVID-19 who have stayed home can stop home isolation and return to work when they have met one of the sets of criteria found here.

You can obtain a letter confirming the end of your isolation here.
