Find a Testing Site in Oregon
OHA is partnering with Google, Castlight and local
public health authorities to help you find local
information about where testing is available.
While we are working hard to keep the information
about where Oregonians can get a COVID-19 test
as up to date as possible, you should contact the
site first to make sure testing is still occurring.
OHA cannot guarantee that you will be able to get
tested at one of these sites. It is always best to
contact your health care provider about getting a
COVID-19 test. Details
Contact Tracing
If you've been in close contact with someone who
tested positive for COVID-19, you may be
contacted by a contact tracer or public health
worker from your state or local health department.
Be aware of scammers pretending to be
COVID-19 contact tracers. Legitimate contact
tracers will never ask for your Medicare Number or
financial information. If someone calls and asks for
personal information, like your Medicare
Number, hang up and report it to us at 1-800-
MEDICARE.
COVID-19 & Insects
Mosquito and tick bites don’t spread
coronaviruses. The main way that COVID-19
spreads is from person-to-person. Practice social
distancing, wash your hands often, and wear a
cloth face covering to prevent the spread. Learn

COVID-19 Misinformation
The internet is overloaded with COVID-19
misinformation, however, before you share a post
or an article, CHECK trusted sources like WHO &
National Health authorities. If you believe the
information is false or misleading, this is how you
can REPORT it on social media: Click Here
