Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) - Some changes are coming to select Covid-19 testing sites in the Las Vegas Valley
The COVID-19 testing site at Cashman Center is closing at noon on Friday and testing operations at the UNLV Stan Fulton Building will expand to seven days a week, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. starting Sunday, Feb. 21.
The UNLV testing site is located at 801 E. Flamingo Road, just east of Paradise Road. UNLV’s testing site will be closed Friday and Saturday this week and will re-open on Sunday with its new seven day-a-week schedule
Officials said the change of operations at Cashman Center will allow the site to expand its capacity to offer more first and second-dose appointments for COVID-19 vaccinations at the site. Testing has been available in Exhibit Hall A at Cashman Center, while vaccinations are offered on an appointment-only basis in Exhibit Hall B.
Since the community’s COVID-19 testing program was launched in May 2020, more than 614,000 tests have been conducted at public sites such as Cashman and UNLV, as well as one and two-day testing events throughout Southern Nevada at community centers, schools and other locations.
The public can visit the testing site calendar on the Southern Nevada Health District’s website at www.SNHD.info/covid for a listing of public testing sites and locations.
