Testing is available to the public so please plan accordingly for possible traffic delays and wait times. Please observe all physical distancing and face covering mandates.<\/p>\n

The walk-in testing is ONLY for people who are NOT symptomatic and have NOT been possibly exposed to the virus.

Isolate yourself as soon as possible and contact your healthcare provider.<\/p>\n

You may participate in the drive-through testing even if you are experiencing possible COVID-19 symptoms.<\/p>\n

Thousands of people, including UH<\/abbr> students and employees, took advantage of the opportunity to do the COVID-19 test during the previous surge testing<\/a> at UH<\/abbr> campuses.<\/p>\n

The free testing at the UH<\/abbr> campuses is part of the “surge testing” by the City and County of Honolulu, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS<\/abbr>) and the Office of the Surgeon General. The results will be kept confidential and only shared with DHHS<\/abbr> and the individual voluntarily taking the test.<\/p>\n
