Delaware Pediatrics is not currently offering any type of COVID-19 testing.

Here is what you should know:

Close contacts of someone with a positive COVID test and household members of a positive COVID individual must quarantine for 14 days past the last date of exposure.

Close contact of a positive case should have a diagnostic COVID-19 test about 5 days after their last date of exposure. A negative diagnostic COVID-19 test does not end or shorten the quarantine period.

If you or your child are having any symptoms or have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, please quarantine and schedule a test.

To schedule a free test, please contact:

The Erie County Department of Health at 716-858-2929, or online at https://www2.erie.gov/health/

NYS Department of Health at 1-888-364-3065, or schedule online at https://health.ny.gov/

If the reason for testing is due to Governor Cuomo’s mandate for schools to conduct testing on 20% of the staff/students, you may not be eligible for the free test through Erie County. Please contact NYS Department of Health or other testing sites for information.

If you have any additional questions, please contact our office at 716-884-0230.
