COVID-19 Testing
To ensure the health and safety of yourself as well as your community, if you are exhibiting symptoms you feel may be consistent with COVID-19, we ask you DO NOT show up at your place of health care unannounced. Instead, please call 509.663.8711 so we may ask you a few questions that will best determine your course of care.
Update 4/20/2022:
• CDHD Testing Site in the Town Toyota Center parking lot: Open to
everyone symptomatic and asymptomatic for COVID-19 testing. No appointment
is necessary. Pre-register at
www.cdhd.wa.gov or call 509-903-3900 for assistance.
• Confluence Health Testing at the Emerson Clinic in Wenatchee: Pre-op
patients only, and an appointment is required.
Drive-thru COVID-19 testing sites:
Patients will still need to be pre-screened ahead of time. We are currently providing community testing for the following:
- Patients required to have testing for a surgery or a procedure
- By appointment only
- In Chelan and Douglas Counties, patients seeking care for respiratory illness will continue to be offered virtual visits where available to help reduce the spread of infection. For patients suffering from serious COVID symptoms such as respiratory distress, the Confluence Health Emergency Department remains the trusted choice for urgent COVID care.
- In Grant and Okanogan Counties, our COVID-19 services remain largely unchanged. Vaccinations and first boosters continue to be offered by appointment only in Moses Lake, Omak and Winthrop clinics. In addition, these cities continue to provide patients who need to be tested before an appointment with convenient in-car COVID testing, which we are expanding to our other service areas in Ephrata, Royal City, Tonasket and Oroville. Virtual visits, phone triage and home testing kits are still an excellent option for COVID diagnoses and testing in these communities.

What to expect after being tested for COVID-19:
The specimen that was taken will be processed and the results of your test will return to Confluence Health typically within 24 – 48 hours. You will be instructed to quarantine until your results return. If you screened for COVID-19 for surgery or a procedure, you should quarantine until the date of your appointment even if your results come back negative. Patients who have a negative result but have symptoms should remain home and isolate for a minimum of 48 hours.
If you are being screened for COVID-19 for a surgery or procedure:
Confluence Health will notify you if your results come back positive and
your procedure needs to be rescheduled. If your results are negative,
you will not be contacted prior to your surgery or procedure specific
to your COVID test. You may still be called with instructions or details
regarding your procedure prior to your scheduled procedure/surgery date.
I tested positive for COVID-19. Now What?
Many people who test positive for COVID-19 may have mild symptoms or no
symptoms at all. Even if you're vaccinated, it is still important to keep
away from other people for
five days, even those in your household, so that you don't spread the virus to others.
