Where To Find A Community COVID-19 Test In Colorado

COLORADO — Coloradans are advised to get tested for COVID-19 if they've been a part of any holiday gatherings, and minor symptoms shouldn't be overlooked, state public health officials said.

In its holiday guidance, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said those joining gatherings with multiple households should take additional measures like getting tested and avoiding crowded indoor places before traveling.

The CDC also cautions anyone who tested positive for COVID-19 should not travel until they end isolation. More advice from the CDC on traveling can be found on the agency’s website.

For anyone who may be sick or has symptoms, the message is to stay home and away from others. They should also get tested for the virus as should anyone who may have been in close contact with a person who has COVID-19, the agency says.
