The United States government has announced a Test to Treat initiative to facilitate rapid access to free treatment for COVID-19. Beginning March 7, 2022, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) began distributing the oral antivirals Paxlovid and molnupiravir directly to federally qualified health centers, pharmacy-based clinics, and long-term care facilities. Facilities not participating in the federal program which are able to offer Test to Treat services can be added to the new upcoming HHS Test to Treat locator. Local health jurisdictions will be responsible for vetting additional Test to Treat facilities in their jurisdictions.

This Health Update includes a link to a webpage listing current federal Test-to-Treat locations in California as well as suggested criteria for future Test to Treat sites.
