It is true that the COA is offering PCR tests.  But it is very hard to qualify 
for one unless you are symptomatic and test negative on rapid tests. I have a 
cold and cough and just returned from Colorado.  I was told I needed to have 2 
negative rapid tests the 2 days before testing or I would not qualify. If I was 
Positive on a rapid test, I would not be eligible for a PCR test. If I was 
symptomatic, but had negative rapid tests, I could qualify. 

In fact, I do not have any at home rapid tests so I could not provide a 
negative test.  All this, and I am 77 and recently returned from a trip to 
Colorado!  I’m not sure why the qualification is so rigid….
