The free coronavirus test lane at the Lyon County Fairgrounds begins Friday morning.
Residents can take advantage of the free tests between 9 am and 5:30 pm Friday and Saturday this week. That schedule resumes Monday through Saturday next week and then wraps up Dec. 28-30.
Unlike other testing efforts, which have focused on symptomatic patients or close contacts, residents do not need to have “medical necessity” to get tested. The oral swab tests are also available at no cost to those wanting tests and no ID is needed to line up. However, residents wanting a COVID-19 test will not be able to have food, drink or tobacco 30 minutes before their tests.
Drivers will need to enter on the south side of the Fairgrounds using the US Highway 50 entrance and leave by using the 12th Avenue entrance.
Residents can go online to www.GoGetTested.com/Kansas to schedule appointments, which are preferred but drive-ups will be welcomed.
