TEST IOWA at IOWA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES - DIVISION OF PUBLIC HEALTH

TestIowa offers free, at home COVID-19 diagnostic testing kits to anyone that is wanting to test themselves for the COVID-19 virus. There are 2 ways to get an at home test:

  • Visit one of the community locations listed on the Test Iowa website to pick up an at home testing kit.
  • Order an at home testing kit to be mailed to your home, for free via UPS, by going to the TestIowa.com website and requesting a kit be sent to your home.
If you have active symptoms, please call the location where you are picking up the test kit when you arrive for further instructions. Please wear a mask inside the pick up location. Once you have a test, go to www.testiowa.com and "activate" your test kit. This links the at home test to you and your phone/email. Follow the test instructions, and once ready, repackage the kit for shipping using the materials provided. You will need to drop it off at a participating UPS store or drop off site, found on the testiowa website. To track your test status, use the tracking number provided with your test kit.
