Free Testing for County Employees

Employees (including state employees and volunteers who are working in County facilities) may seek a COVID-19 test through Loudoun Medical Group, P.C. (LMG) when the employee is:

  • Directly exposed to the virus at work; 
  • Symptomatic but has not yet been tested; 
  • Asymptomatic but a close contact of a co-worker who is experiencing symptoms; 
  • Asymptomatic with no known exposures (limited to one test per month). Household members who are asymptomatic with no known exposures may also seek a test through this program once per month.
