This is an important question. Only you or your parent/guardian, the lab, and the ordering physician have access to an individual’s test results. By law, positive test records are also reported to the relevant public health department(s) for contact tracing. If an organization is set up to receive results for its constituents (e.g., a school or an employer), then their assigned administrator will have access to those patients’ results. This is only done with patient consent.

SHIELD Illinois has the ability to provide every patient (or patient's guardian) with access to a portal to see individual results. However, whether access to patient portals is allowed for patients at an agency (e.g. school/employer) is determined by the agency.
