Baltimore County offering online scheduling for free COVID-19 tests

TOWSON, MD—Beginning on Wednesday, Baltimore County residents can now quickly and easily reserve a slot online for free COVID-19 testing by visiting Baltimore County’s website. Appointments are currently available at both walk-up and drive-through sites for Thursday, June 4, through Tuesday, June 9, 2020. New dates will be added on Wednesdays each week.

“Improving access to testing is important to continue our gradual reopening. Allowing people to schedule tests online makes it even easier for any County resident who wants to be tested to do so quickly,” said County Executive Johnny Olszewski. “We’ll continue working to put measures in place that reduce the spread of the virus and gets Baltimore County back to work.”

“This online scheduling tool is yet another way we are making expanded testing available and convenient,” said Baltimore County Health Officer Dr. Gregory Wm. Branch. “Reserving an appointment supports our ability to serve people quickly and reduce wait times for everyone—especially individuals who may not be feeling well.”



Residents do not need a doctor’s order to obtain a test, as Baltimore County Health Officer Dr. Gregory Branch previously issued a standing order for all County residents, enabling any resident who wants to receive a COVID-19 test to do so without a doctor’s order.

Residents who make an appointment online will enter their contact information and choose a site location and appointment time. Persons may also indicate whether they will require special accommodations at the site. While reserving a time slot is recommended, all individuals visiting a County testing location will be served.

Adults must show identification upon arrival for their test. Adults accompanying a minor for testing must write down the child’s name and date of birth to present to staff upon arrival at the site.
