Denver Public Health, the City and County of Denver, and several community organizations have partnered to offer free COVID-19 testing directly in the Denver community.
While data gathered by Denver Public Health includes only known cases of COVID-19 confirmed by testing, the figures clearly show a disproportionate amount of inequities in death by race and ethnicity. Guided by this data, access to testing is being expanded to communities most adversely impacted by COVID-19.
Learn more about the locations, dates and times for improved access to free COVID-19 testing in underserved communities.
Additional locations and days for free, community-based COVID-19 testing are currently being determined. If your community organization is interested in hosting a free COVID-19 testing site in Denver, please call Denver Public Health at 303-946-7471.
