Free COVID-19 tests now offered after work, on weekends
As average daily COVID-19 cases hover above 2,000, Wake County is making it easier for people to get tested for the virus.
Posted — UpdatedDaytime, evening and weekend testing is now being offered at the Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral off Western Boulevard and Nazareth Street in Raleigh.
Over the weekend, testing will be offered between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
Wake County is still offering free drive-thru testing at its base site, the Sunnybrook Road parking deck, and in Wake Forest at Radeas Labs on Gateway Commons Circle.
Who should get tested?
Officials advise that people who have attended large gatherings -- like protests or rallies -- should also be tested for the coronavirus.
Typically, if someone tests positive, the county will reach out to them via cell phone in two days. Patients can view their test results online or using LabCorp's Patient portal app. When arriving at the testing site, patients will receive information about how to view their test results.
