Even if you are not experiencing symptoms, it is encouraged that you get tested to know your COVID-19 status.
Ochsner has completed more than 10,000 COVID-19 community tests across the state since May 5.
The site will use a self-administered nasal swab test that will allow those being tested to swab their own nose onsite while in their vehicles, observed by a trained medical volunteer to ensure the sample is taken correctly, and drop the sealed sample into a container on their way out of the drive-thru site.
Those being tested will need to wear a mask and stay in their cars for verification of eligibility criteria, ID check and self-administered test. Walk up testing is not preferred due to safety concerns.
Members of the community who wish to be tested should bring an ID and insurance card, if applicable.
There are no out-of-pocket costs for those seeking a test and no one will be turned away based on their insurance status.
