Drive-through COVID-19 testing is available daily at the Alario Center to any individual who is 18 years or older with symptoms, with a cap of 250 tests per day.
Through a pilot program with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), COVID-19 testing is offered at the Alario Center Parking Lot, 2000 Segnette Blvd. Westwego, LA 70094, to individuals who meet specific criteria. The site is open at 8 a.m. seven days a week.
Procedure
Upon arrival at the site, individuals will be required to remain in their vehicles and to provide identification, which needs to be a Louisiana driver’s license, state-issued ID or medical/first-responder credentials.
Personnel in full medical protective gear will check the individual’s temperature with a no-touch thermometer and insert a nasal swab to obtain the necessary sample.
For the safety of the testing personnel, the drive-through site will not be able to accommodate walk-up individuals. Individuals must arrive in a vehicle.
