If you had a COVID-19 test with a negative result (COVID not detected):

  • We recommend no further testing or retesting for 14 days from the date of the original test.
  • If you feel you need a COVID-19 retest, contact your primary care provider or complete a MyChart e-Visit for COVID-19 screening.

If you had a COVID-19 test with a positive result (COVID detected):

  • We recommend no further testing or retesting for 90 days from the date of the original test.
  • If you feel you need a COVID-19 retest, contact your primary care provider or complete a MyChart e-Visit for COVID-19 screening.

If you have a primary care provider that is outside of Cone Health and you feel like you need retesting prior to the time spans listed above, please visit your provider to be evaluated and have your provider write you a prescription and bring the prescription to the COVID-19 test site.
