Four new coronavirus free testing sites available at Walmart lots in Dallas County

Four new drive-thru COVID-19 testing sites are now available at Walmart locations in Dallas County.

The four locations are located in Dallas, DeSoto, Garland and Rowlett.

To learn if you’re eligible, go to www.DoINeedaCOVID19test.com. If so, you can make an appointment at one of the locations online.

The tests are run by ETrueNorth with help from state and local officials. They’re available for anyone meeting the CDC and state and local guidelines for a test, which include first-responders, health-care providers and others with coronavirus symptoms or those in high-risk groups even without symptoms.

“Testing is critical so that we’re not flying blind as we do everything that we can to keep you safe during a time when our economy is reopening,” Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins said in a release.

The sites are open 7-9 a.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

You must wear a face covering while remaining in your car during the test. Verification of eligibility and an ID check will be required before each patient is issued a self-administered nasal swab while being observed by a trained medical volunteer. Results are typically available in three to four days.

For more information call 800-635-8611.
