Free COVID-19 Testing Initiative Begins On Kauloosa Avenue

TUSCALOOSA, AL. — A free COVID-19 drive-thru testing initiative kicked off Monday in Tuscaloosa and will run through Sept. 4 or while supplies last. The testing site will be at the Tuscaloosa Fire Rescue Training and Logistics Center, located at 3311 Kauloosa Avenue.

Testing will begin each day at 9 a.m. and last until 5 p.m. According to the testing schedule, the site will be closed on Sunday.

The city of Tuscaloosa says the free drive-thru testing is open to all, regardless of symptoms.

Testing locations will use a self-administered nasal swab test that allows each visitor to swab their own nose while sitting in their vehicle, a process that will be supervised by trained medical volunteers. Results from the tests can be expected to be delivered within 3-5 business days.

Those who wish to be tested are asked to register online ahead of testing.
