Due to a large increase in the number of cases and a data glitch in the reporting of those cases to the State of Colorado and Teller County Public Health and Environment, you may not be contacted directly by Teller County COVID-19 Case Investigators regarding Isolation and Quarantine instructions. Some results are not being reported to Teller County Public Health and Environment until after the initial isolation or quarantine period has passed. Please be sure to follow the isolation and/or quarantine guidelines provided by our testing site personnel at the time of testing. Please DON'T WAIT for someone to contact you. Be aware of the current guidance and be proactive in taking care of yourself and those around you!
Due to safety concerns, Teller County COVID Testing Check-in has been moved to the Hayden Divide Park in Divide. You MUST check in at this new location to be tested. If you DON’T check in at the park, and attempt to go straight to the test site, you will be re-routed to Hayden Divide Park to complete check in prior to testing. Testing will continue to be completed at the Pikes Peak Community Club, 11122 W. Highway 24, Divide, CO 80814.
Please Note: This applies to the Divide Testing Site ONLY. It does not apply to the MAKO testing site in Cripple Creek.
