Wake County has secured three additional locations for testing residents at risk of COVID-19 over the next few weeks.

  • On June 25, 26 and 27, testing will be available at Southeast Raleigh Magnet High School, located at 2600 Rock Quarry Road, Raleigh;
  • On June 29 and 30, testing will be available at Millbrook Magnet High School, located at 2201 Spring Forest Road, Raleigh; and

Testing will run each day from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. While tests are free, people must follow a three-step process to claim their spots.

  • Step 1: Select the time slot that works best for their schedule by clicking on the “Sign Up” button here for the date they’d like to be tested. If more than one person from a household wants to be tested, each person much register separately.
  • Step 2: Complete this registration form.
  • Step 3: Print the completed registration form or have it saved in your email for access at the testing site.
     

Tests are reserved for those who:

  • Have COVID-like symptoms, including fever, cough, shortness of breath, nausea or vomiting, and loss of smell;
  • Have been in close contact with a known positive case of COVID-19;
  • Are healthcare workers or first responders;
  • Work in high-risk settings like long-term care facilities, correctional facilities or homeless shelters;

  • Have underlying health conditions;
  • Are a member of a vulnerable or historically marginalized population;
  • Have attended a mass gathering or protest; or
  • Are a frontline worker in a setting where social distancing is difficult.
