Salem Clinic has urgent care clinics available for COVID-19 assessments and testing. Urgent Care visits and testing are available Monday-Friday and weekends, beginning at 10am.
Please note that most COVID-19 testing is performed in conjunction with an urgent care visit and decisions regarding appropriate testing are based on OHA guidelines and the discretion of the evaluating provider. Testing required for surgery or long term care facility admittance occurs at 2020 Capitol Street NE.
If you have been exposed to someone with COVID-19, we ask that you wait at least 72 hours from the time of exposure, as testing too soon can lead to a false negative result.
