Additional testing Information

• Once on site, those being tested will need to wear a mask and stay in their cars for verification of eligibility criteria, ID check and self-administered test. For the safety of all those on-site, the test sites are not available to those who walk up.
• The sites will use a self-administered nasal swab test that will allow those being tested to swab their own nose onsite while in their vehicles, observed by a trained medical volunteer to ensure the sample is taken correctly, and drop the sealed sample into a container on their way out of the drive-thru site.
• Individuals tested who are awaiting results should follow CDC guidelines and take steps to help prevent the virus from spreading to other people.

A calendar of testing events sponsored by the health district is available in English and Spanish on its website at www.SNHD.info/covid. The state of Nevada also has a COVID-19 test locator tool on its website at www.healthresponse.nv.gov that lists labs, pharmacies and other testing resources.

Patients receive test results from the provider that performed their COVID-19 test. All results, positive or negative, are reported to the health district. Officials are working to increase contact tracing and disease investigation efforts, following up with patients who test positive for the virus and their contacts.

The SNHD offers a multitude of vaccination sites around the valley for Nevadans 5 and older.  Please see the link for a list of vaccination clinics throughout Clark County operated by the Southern Nevada Health District and community partners.
