FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NEW HOURS FOR ALARIO CENTER COVID-19 TESTING SITE
Open Monday – Saturday, 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.
JEFFERSON, LA – Starting today, October 5, the Alario Center COVID-19 testing site has new operating hours (8 a.m. – 4 p.m. daily, except on Sundays).
Free testing at the Alario Center is available to individuals five years and older who want to know their COVID-19 status. Individuals under 16 years old must have a parent or legal guardian present to consent to testing.
Individuals seeking COVID-19 testing at this site are encouraged to pre-register. Individuals can pre-register at www.DoINeedaCOVID19test.com. Onsite registration will still be accommodated; however, it will take longer than arriving pre-registered. Individuals who get tested at the Alario Center testing should receive their results within 3-5 days.
- This testing site is conducted as a drive-thru test site. Once on site, those being tested will need to do as followed:
Wear a mask and stay in vehicle (there will be separate lines for those who have pre-registered and for those who must register onsite). - The site uses a self-administered nasal swab test that will allow those being tested to swab their own nose while in their vehicles. Each person will be observed by a trained medical volunteer to ensure the sample is taken correctly, and drop the sealed sampled into a container on their way out of the drive-thru site.
