The Test to Treat (T2T) program connects eligible people who are at high risk of severe COVID-19 to treatments. These locations provide access for people to get tested, receive a prescription from a healthcare provider, and fill that prescription, all at one place. The Test to Treat (T2T) Locator
helps you find places that provide these services.
Please check the site often as sites continue to be added.
For additional support locating a Test to Treat site, call 1 (800) 232-0233 (TTY 1-888-720-7489) to get help in English, Spanish, and more than 150 other languages.
The COVID-19 Therapeutics Locator was released by the federal government. It shows public locations near you that are receiving the available COVID-19 therapeutics. This locator is only intended as a guide to help when having conversations with your healthcare provider.
Please allow your healthcare provider to do all communications with these sites including checking on availability of therapeutics.
Please note, you must be evaluated by a healthcare provider to make sure you are eligible for these medicines.

What is Allocation?
The federal government chooses how much COVID-19 therapeutics each state receives. OHA then decides which sites in Oregon receive product and how much COVID-19 therapeutics each state receives. OHA then decides which sites in Oregon receive product and how much.
Oregon is split into smaller regions that have counties within it. The map shows how Oregon is broken up and can give a better picture on how much therapeutics each region is receiving.
The table shows how many of each therapeutic OHA allocated to sites within the smaller regions in the last month. Please note that this only shows what OHA has allocated and does not include amounts provided to pharmacies by the federal government.

The federal government requires all states to share certain information about treatment administration. Currently, they require information about allocations, distribution, and daily utilization. The federal government does not require states to collect information about treatment administration based on race and ethnicity, therefore, OHA cannot provide this information.
Remdesivir is also a treatment of COVID-19 infection for adult and pediatric patients. OHA do not allocate this medicine.
