Maui County launches free COVID-19 community testing program
COURTESY MAUI COUNTY
Motorists waited in line, in April, for COVID-19 tests by Minit Medical staff today at South Maui Community Park Gymnasium.
Maui County has launched a free, COVID-19 community testing program, according to Maui Mayor Mike Victorino, at three, drive-up test sites on the island of Maui.
Minit Medical is administering the program at standing community testing sites in West Maui, South Maui and Central Maui. Residents do not need to have insurance or meet any criteria to get tested for free.
The tests, however, do not qualify for the state’s pre-travel testing program and are not valid for interisland travel.
All participants must pre-register at minitmed.com/pre-register-maui-covid-19 or call 667-6161 ext.7 for help and more information.
“The County is offering these tests completely free to keep our community safe and healthy,” said Victorino in a news release. “You don’t need to have any symptoms, and it’s a very quick and easy testing program that we encourage everyone to participate in.”
Those who are interested can pre-register for the following locations and times:
