Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) - As COVID-19 cases surge in both Clark County and Nevada, the county and Southern Nevada Health District will offer free COVID-19 testing on Friday at Cheyenne High School located at 3200 W. Alexander Road (northwest corner of Alexander and Simmons).
The walk-in site will be inside the school’s gym and will operate from 8 a.m. to noon, or while supplies last. The tests, self-administered nasal swabs, will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. No appointment is needed. Testing is open to anyone, with or without symptoms, including children.
Test event participants are asked to wear face coverings, and to bring photo identification and provide their phone numbers. The Nevada National Guard, Global Medical Response ambulance company and the city of North Las Vegas are partners in the effort.
Testing also is available seven days a week, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at one of two sites in the Las Vegas Valley – Cashman Center or UNLV’s Thomas & Mack Center.
Appointments at these sites can be self-scheduled through UMC’s website at www.umcsn.com.
Those with no online access or limited access may call UMC at (702) 383-2619 to schedule appointments. While appointments are recommended, both sites offer tests each day to people arriving without appointments on a first-come, first-served basis.
