COVID Testing
Report confirmed COVID-19 cases: All cases of COVID-19, even for employees who are not on site, should be reported to Health Services by calling 510-486-6266. Case information provides data to develop additional guidance.
COVID testing is available from the Lab for those situations where testing is required. Contact covidinfo@lbl.gov to request a test.
COVID testing, either PCR or rapid antigen, is required in the following situations at the Lab:
After exposure to someone with COVID-19 (i.e., close contact), testing is required after Day 5 if coming onsite or on official business travel.
Between days three to five after completion of official business travel and in some other business travel scenarios.
The Lab will continue to make testing available when there has been an exposure in the workplace.
In these situations, you can obtain a COVID test:
By contacting covidinfo@lbl.gov
Through your healthcare provider, a testing site, or a pharmacy.
If you need a COVID test for Lab-sponsored business travel, you may obtain the test from a local testing center or pharmacy and include the receipt in your travel voucher or contact covidinfo@lbl.gov .
DO NOT COME ON SITE IF YOU ARE SYMPTOMATIC.
