COVID-19 testing
We know that families are concerned about COVID-19 and may have questions about testing.
With nationwide access to testing supplies limited, Children’s is following local, state and national guidance on when to test children. Your child's pediatrician knows them best and will determine if a test is needed. Asymptomatic (displaying no symptoms) patients directly exposed should be tested 5 days or later from exposure to ensure test accuracy. To find a public testing location visit IMPACT 2-1-1 or the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.
To help ensure the safety of patients and staff, all kids who are having a surgery or are hospitalized will be tested for COVID-19.
Never hesitate to call your child’s doctor if you have medical questions or concerns. It’s what they are there for.
