Wake County Free Drive-thru COVID-19 testing

Wake County is now conducting drive-thru COVID-19 testing at specified locations throughout the county. This free service provides an easy and efficient way for residents to learn if they have the virus. If you are unable to secure an appointment time, you may be able to use the drive-thru service if you have your registration form with you. However, try to be on-site at 10 a.m on the testing dates available.

Those seeking a COVID-19 test will not exit his/her vehicle. All of the testing are self-administered while seated in your vehicle. A health worker will give instructions at the passenger or driver window (just roll your window down a few inches for testing). Self-administered testing typically takes less than a minute per person.

Before you arrive, fill out this registration form (also available in Spanish) and print a copy to take to your appointment.

In addition to your printed registration form, you need to bring an ID. Examples of acceptable forms of identification include your driver license, voter registration card, passport and utility bill.

If you have questions, call Wake County’s COVID-19 hotline at 919-856-7044 or email covid19.questions@wakegov.com.

      I have will be addressing that dilemma with the Attorney General very soon.

      However, COVID testing is a serious issue that registrants have a right to pursue. 1) The testing is not inside an educational building. 2) You do not get out of your car on school property because the COVID test is inside your vehicle. 3) deputies are on-site doing nothing more than traffic control. 4) there are alternative test sites. 5) some registrants have been to sites to be tested and experienced no problems what-so-ever. They are there to receive a COVID test.

      I would suggest contacting the state attorney general to voice a complaint where COVID testing takes place. The best way to get involved in change is to be involved in change.
