Viral Tests for COVID-19

Viral tests tell you if you currently have an infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. A positive test result means you have an infection.

About the Data

These data only represent viral tests. Antibody tests are not currently captured in these data.

These data are compiled from a number of sources. Not all viral tests are reported to CDC.
The number of positive tests in a state is not equal to the number of cases, as one person may be tested more than once.

CDC has moved the following information to the Previous U.S. Viral Testing Data.
