Testing through public health is free. An email is required to self-register. If you do not have an email you can self-register using the mock email address: firstname.lastname@noemail.com (i.e. Jane.Smith@noemail.com).  If you register without a valid email address or using the mock email address your results will not be emailed to you. Our health department staff will call you with your results.
