There is a drive through  COVID-19 screening and testing clinic in Hilo today, Sunday, Mar. 29, at the County’s Ho`olulu Complex (Victor Wong Stadium, Edith Kanaka’ole Stadium)  from 8:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.   Premier Medical Group and Bay Clinic, with the support of the County of Hawai`i COVID-19 Task Force, will offer the drive-through screening and testing clinic.

No doctor’s order is needed for the testing.  Clinic physicians on site will make the determination regarding testing.  The screening criteria will be based on guidance of the CDC and the State’s COVID-19 Response Task Force, which generally includes exposure to someone with COVID-19 and/or an off-island travel history or contacts,  and having symptoms such as a dry cough and fever.

People who visit the screening clinic will be asked to show photo ID.  Additionally, people are asked to bring any health insurance cards they have, although insurance is not required.

At Saturday’s drive-through clinic at Old Kona Airport, between 350 and 375 people were screened and 174 met the testing criteria.  At a similar drive-through clinic on March 23,  1,629 people were screened and 299 were tested, according to Laura Mallery Sayre of the Daniel  Sayre Foundation, which helped manage that event.   So far, 4 have tested positive, and all were college students who had returned from the mainland.   Photo is the Saturday, 3/28 screening at Old Kona Airport.
