Free, drive-thru, self-administered rapid testing available for those with no COVID-19 symptoms
Press release:
The Genesee County Health Department is offering free, drive-thru COVID-19 self-administered rapid testing for residents who are asymptomatic (no symptoms, not feeling sick, etc.).
The testing will be available today through Tuesday, Jan. 26th from 1 until 4 p.m. and, as before, it will be at the Genesee County Emergency Management Office & Fire Training Facility, at 7690 State Street Road in the Town of Batavia.
To schedule a test, you MUST register online. Anyone needing additional help for online registration may contact the Genesee County Health Department at (585) 344-2580, ext. 5555.
As a reminder, anyone who had a recent potential exposure to COVID-19 should not recommended to be tested until at least five days have passed since the exposure.
In addition to registering for the test, please keep in mind the following guidelines:
- Make sure you have a pen in your vehicle.
- Everyone in the vehicle is to have their mask on when they pull up at the testing site.
- A parent or guardian must be present for any individual under 18 who is going to be tested.
- Those who are tested could get a call fairly quickly from an unknown number; please answer the phone as staff cannot leave messages and can only give results to the individuals tested or the guardian of those under 18 years of age.
