The City of New Orleans Health Department, LCMC Health and Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center (LSUHSC) will continue conducting a mobile testing campaign for COVID-19 across the metro area over the coming weeks. The mobile campaign is bringing walk-up testing to neighborhoods that have been heavily affected by COVID-19, with the goal of identifying early cases that are showing little if any symptoms. A person must be 18 years of age, have been exposed to COVID-19, or think he or she may have had or has symptoms.
This week the mobile site will be at the Marrero Community Center (1861 Ames Blvd., Marrero), from Tuesday, April 28, to Friday, May 1, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. each day, with a delayed start of 9 a.m. on Tuesday, April 28.
Testing will be from 8 a.m. 4 p.m. each day, or until the allotted 250 tests have been taken. Times are subject to change due to weather conditions.
