Free Covid-19 Test available in Las Vegas area
If you live in Las Vegas area, Southern Nevada and have a smart phone, you probably received the loud emergency alert on 9/8 (Tue) afternoon. I was at M Resort hotel (Las Vegas Raiders Official Team Headquarter Hotel). It was to let the residents know that there is a free COVID-19 testing from Aug. 31 - Sept. 18 as part of Clark County's "Stop, Swab, and Go" program.
Here is the statement sent to one of our local news station from Clark County:
"The Clark County Office of Emergency Management determined that under the existing Declaration of Emergency and the current health threat posed by COVID-19, it is important to make it widely known that this free, convenient, drive-thru testing is available. Through testing, we can identify who is positive and those persons can isolate themselves and slow the spread. Through testing, we can also conduct disease investigations and conduct contact tracing to alert those who may have been exposed. Through this Stop, Swab & Go effort, 60,000 tests are available through Sept. 18 and we encourage everyone to register at DoINeedaCOVID19test.com and get tested.
In addition to testing offered through Stop, Swab & Go at Sam Boyd Stadium, Texas Station and Fiesta Henderson, testing is also offered through the UMC site at Cashman and UNLV. A calendar of local testing sites is available at southernnevadahealthdistrict.org/covid-19-testing-sites. "
So I did go take the test this morning and it was very easy (self-testing) and no line to wait. When I took the test for the first time in June, 2020, it was very uncomfortable and I felt like I was drowning. I am glad to find out the testing technology has improved in the past few months. So don't be afraid! It is free! Go get tested!
