Drive-thru testing was held at Kakaako Waterfront Park on March 29.
More drive-thru testing for COVID-19 is scheduled for Oahu this weekend.
Honolulu city officials are offering drive-thru testing in Kahuku on Saturday and in Waimanalo on Sunday.
Premier Medical Group Hawaii will be running the drive-thru testing events, which are available to those without insurance.
From 9 a.m to 1 p.m. Saturday, drive-thru testing will be available in the rear parking lot of Kahuku Medical Center, at 56-117 Pualalea St.
From 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday, testing will be conducted at Waimanalo District Park. Access to the park will be from Hihimanu Street.
For each location, county officials ask participants to follow the posted signs to the test area.
All who attend will first be screened for symptoms and asked to provide personal information and contact numbers so results can be sent to them.
The drive-thru testing is part of the city’s effort to do focused testing in communities across Oahu, and to identify COVID-19 “hot spots” on the island, city officials said.
For more information on Oahu testing events, call Premier Medical Group Hawaii at 304-8816 or 367-6020.
Testing is also available on neighbor islands this weekend.
