COCONINO COUNTY — Coconino County Health and Human Services (CCHHS) is participating in the Arizona COVID-19 Testing Blitz on Saturday, May 30.
This is the fourth Testing Blitz hosted by CCHHS as part of the statewide initiative which aims to test up to 60,000 Arizonans for COVID-19.
Testing will be held at Coconino County Health and Human Services, 2625 N. King Street, Flagstaff, AZ 86004 from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. Drive through testing and walk up testing will be available.
Testing is open to anyone interested in being tested for COVID-19. Essential workers, individuals exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms (fever, cough, difficulty breathing, chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat and new loss of taste or smell) and individuals that feel they have been exposed to COVID-19 are encouraged to be tested. Testing is free of charge and will be limited to the amount of available supplies on a first come, first served basis.
“The previous three COVID-19 Testing Blitz resulted in over 1,000 specimens collected,” said Coconino County Board Chair, Supervisor Liz Archuleta. “Testing is so important because it identifies infected individuals which allows them to take the necessary precautions to avoid the spread of COVID-19. We encourage everyone to get tested because even individuals who are asymptomatic can carry the virus without knowing it. We encourage anyone interested in being tested to attend this weekend’s Testing Blitz.”
Individuals that want to be tested for COVID-19 at the May 30 CCHHS Testing Blitz are asked to register at www.coconino.az.gov/covid19. Registration will assist with planning and does not guarantee testing availability.
