If you do not have your own transportation, please discuss with your healthcare provider before scheduling an appointment.

This tool will assist you to determine that actions you can take to protect you and your loved ones' health and help determine whether you should be tested for COVID-19, and can be accessed at https://self.covid19.nj.gov/
