After-hours/weekend testing
Viral Triage Clinics (VTCs) for all Gallatin County residents are locations where individuals with respiratory and/or viral symptoms will be evaluated and treated. The Viral Triage Clinic services are not free, but may be covered by your insurance. You can find a current list of testing sites at the Gallatin City-County Health Department Testing webpage.
You've been tested. What comes next?
It may take some time for your test results to come back. What do you do in the meantime? What preparations can you make?
Please immediately call your residence hall front desk and inform them that you plan to seek a test so they can assist you with self-quarantine afterward.
Please pack back a small bag of clothing, toiletries, your phone and laptop, charging cables and any prescription medications you may need before you head to the testing site as you will need to go into quarantine housing after you are tested.
