Honolulu’s free COVID-19 testing site at airport extended through Aug. 28
Honolulu County officials today said the Mobile Lab at the airport will continue to offer free COVID-19 testing for all Oahu residents for another week, through Aug. 28, to meet the growing needs of the isle’s communities.
Demand for COVID testing has been high for the past few weeks, with long lines at the city’s Mobile Lab at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, as the delta variant continues to cause a surge in cases.
Today, the Hawaii Department of Health reported four new coronavirus-related deaths and 845 new confirmed and probable infections statewide, bringing the state’s totals since the start of the pandemic to 562 fatalities and 54,443 cases.
The lab is offering the PCR mid-turbinate test, which can provide results to participants within six hours.
All clients must pre-register under the city pre-paid section at city prepaid section online at oahucitypass.lumisight.com, and will then receive a QR code. Those who register will be required to bring a valid state ID displaying their Oahu address and zip code.
Also, a separate line is available for City and County of Honolulu workers, first responders, and kupuna ages 60 and older.
