More drive-thru coronavirus testing available on Oahu and Lanai this weekend
BRUCE ASATO / APRIL 9
Public drive-thru testing for COVID-19 was held April 9 at the Waianae Boat Harbor. The testing was provided by Dr. Scott Miscovich and his organization, Premier Medical Group Hawaii.
Additional drive-thru testing for COVID-19 will be available both on Oahu and Lanai this coming weekend.
Honolulu County officials said from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, Kalihi Kai Urgent Care will conduct free testing at Ewa Mahiko District Park, 91-1205 Renton Road, in Ewa Beach.
All who attend will first be screened for symptoms and asked to provide personal information and contact numbers so results can be made known to them.
The drive-thru testing is part of the county’s effort to do focused testing in communities across Oahu, and to identify COVID-19 “hot spots” on the island.
On Saturday, Maui County is offering drive-thru testing for the new coronavirus from 8 to 11 a.m. on Lanai. Testing is by appointment only for residents 15 years old and older.
The testing on Lanai will take place in the back parking lot of the old Dole Administration Building in Lanai City. Motorists are asked to approach the testing site via Queen Street and to enter the rear parking lot from the 7th Street side.
