Coronavirus Testing: What is a COVID-19 genetic, antigen and antibody test?
There has been a lot of talk about testing for the coronavirus, but you may not entirely understand what the different tests are for.

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- As part of the strategy to curb the spread of COVID-19, California is testing more than 150,000 people every day. Between state-run sites, city-run sites, healthcare providers and private companies, there are more and more options to get tested for the coronavirus in Central California.

A map made by ABC's data journalism team plots out every testing location in Fresno, Kings, Madera, Mariposa, Merced, and Tulare counties. Zoom in to the map below to see the options near you.

"There are no out-of-pocket costs for medically-necessary testing" in California, the state has said. If you have insurance, your insurance company will billed. If not, the state will cover the cost.
