ST. TAMMANY PARISH, La. — The Louisiana National Guard is conducting widespread, drive-thru coronavirus testing in St. Tammany, Washington, Tangipahoa, Livingston and St. Helena parishes.
Starting Tuesday, May 26 and lasting four weeks until June 19, mobile testing sites are operating in each parish and will change locations to give different communities the chance to be tested for COVID-19, especially in rural areas.
The free sites are set up by the Louisiana Department of Health and local parish governments and run by guardsmen. Locations include schools, churches parks and retail stores. They will be open for three hours in the mornings.
“This partnership greatly increases testing opportunity for residents, especially in the rural and unincorporated areas of these parishes,” said Dr. Gina Lagarde, the Office of Public Health regional medical director for the five-parish region, said.
Sites are open from 8 a.m. - 11 a.m. Any Louisiana resident older than 18 can get a test. You must bring valid Louisiana identification.
Once on the site, you will be required to wear a mask and stay in your car. After check in, you will receive a self-administered test kit. With the help of medical staff, you will use a nasal swab and then drop your kit into a container as you drive out of the site.
The tests will be sent to the state for processing and you will be contacted with your results. This can take several days.
Those who test positive will be asked to self-quarantine and contact tracing to find out who they may have exposed will be conducted.
