COVID-19 testing is on the schedule for today by Ali’i Health at Keauhou Shopping Center, behind the Regal Cinemas building, from 9 until noon.  The testing is sponsored by Hawaii County and is free.

According to the Hawaii County Civil Defense web site, there will also be free County testing Saturday at 3 locations:

•West Hawaii Civic Center, 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. (provider:  Premier Medical)

•Afook Chinen Auditorium in Hilo, 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.  (provider:  Premier Medical)

• Kea’au High School, 1 p.m. until 5 p.m.  (provider:  Premier Medical)

All the testing is free.  Plan to stay in your car, and wear a face mask when talking with anybody outside your vehicle.  It’s helpful to bring your own pen to fill out the form, and easier if you bring a clipboard or hard surface on which to write.

Please bring your insurance card (if you have insurance) as well as a photo I.D.
