Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) - Free COVID-19 testing will be available on Friday at Mojave High School, 5302 N. Goldfield St., as part of Clark County, Southern Nevada Health District and partnering agency efforts to bring COVID-19 testing into neighborhoods hard hit by the pandemic.

Tests will be available on a first-come, first-served basis in the school auxiliary gym on both days from 8 a.m. to noon, or while supplies last.  The tests, self-administered nasal swabs, are available to anyone, with or without symptoms, including children. Participants are asked to wear face coverings, and to bring photo identification and provide their phone numbers.

The Nevada National Guard, Guardian Elite Medical Services ambulance company and the city of North Las Vegas are partners in the effort.

The free testing at Mojave is in addition to the normal testing spots that the county has set up at Texas Station, Cashman Center, and the Stan Fulton Building on the campus of UNLV. To find out their testing days and times, click here.
