Updates are coming to Wake County's drive-thru testing sites!

Beginning Wednesday, Dec. 1 Wake County Public Health will require appointments at its COVID-19 drive-thru testing locations. This new process will allow the county to prioritize residents who are symptomatic, have been exposed to COVID-19 or are at higher risk.

Testing will remain at no-cost and residents can easily make an appointment on our website! No matter the reason for needing a test, Wake County Public Health will still offer thousands of appointments per day across county locations. No ID or insurance is required.
