The Hawaii Department of Health is reminding residents that free COVID-19 testing sites are available across the state due to a number of federal, state, and county partnerships.

“Testing is a key mitigation measure, especially as we continue to see widespread community transmission,” said Health Director Dr. Elizabeth Char in a news release. “We encourage individuals exhibiting COVID symptoms and individuals who have been exposed to an infected person — regardless of vaccination status —to get tested.”

This Friday, free COVID-19 testing will be available from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Kamalani Academy in Wahiawa. Rapid tests results will be available on-site in 15 minutes, although those attending should plan for a minimum wait time of 30 minutes.

Walk-ins are accepted, but appointments can also be requested by emailing hawaiifreecovidtest@gmail.com.

Required documentation and appointments will vary by site, according to the Health Department, and paid testing or testing with a doctor’s order are also available at additional locations statewide.
