What to expect if you get tested for COVID-19 in Las Vegas
Starting May 18, there will be ten drive-thru testing sites in Nevada open to the community in the parking lots of Walmart stores located in Elko, Las Vegas, North Las Vegas and Reno.
The sites will test adults who meet CDC and state and local guidelines on who should be tested, including first responders, health care providers, and others with symptoms of COVID-19 and those in high-risk groups without symptoms.
The ten sites are supported by Walmart, Quest Diagnostics, and state and local officials. There is no out-of-pocket cost to the individual, and testing is not available inside Walmart stores.
“Walmart is part of the community, and we are proud to help support the expansion of COVID-19 testing in Nevada during this unprecedented time,” said Kevin Loscotoff, Walmart Public Affairs Director for Nevada. “We are grateful to our associates who keep our stores running, our pharmacists who support these testing sites, and to Quest Diagnostics and local officials as we work together to open the sites and help our community.”
