North Carolina Testing Criteria
Providers determine if patients should be tested based on CDC criteria.
The state public health lab is prioritizing patients based on the state Department of Health and Human Services’ criteria:
Patients with fever or lower respiratory symptoms (cough, shortness of breath) and close contact with a confirmed COVID-19 case within the past 14 days
Patients with fever and lower respiratory symptoms (cough, shortness of breath) and a negative rapid flu test
Other symptomatic patients may be tested by commercial labs if a provider determines it appropriate. It is not necessary for everyone to be tested at this time.
