Community COVID Testing

Submitted by kylynn.james on

The Utah Department of Health is offering free COVID-19 rapid antigen testing in communities across the state.  We are pleased to inform you that the next free COVID testing days for employees and members of our communities will be Monday, January 25, and Friday, January 29, from 2:30 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.

Nebo School District's testing site will be at the Advanced Learning Center (ALC), located at 161 E. 400 N. in Salem, Utah.  The testing will be a mobile site, so individuals will stay in their vehicle to be tested.  Please pull to the west side of the block and enter the testing area through the west entry.  Signs will be posted to show you how to get to the testing site.  In order to receive your test, the state has requested that each person register before being tested.  The sign-up link is posted below:

Anyone can get tested at this free testing clinic, even if they do not have symptoms of COVID-19.  However, the Department of Health encourages anyone who might have any symptoms, even mild ones, to come and get tested. Online registration is encouraged to cut down on any potential delays at the testing site. If you can’t register online, you will be able to register at the site. Identification is required. 

The goal of this testing clinic is to quickly identify people who are currently infectious with COVID-19, including those who may not even know they are infected because they don’t have symptoms. Identifying these individuals will help slow the spread of infection in the community. 

Test results will be emailed to those tested within 30-60 minutes after being tested. 

Testing teams will consist of Utah Department of Health staff, deployed National Guard members, and TestUtah contracted teams.
