Drive-thru coronavirus testing will be offered from noon to 5 p.m. Wednesday, June 10 through Friday, June 12 in the University of Memphis Central Avenue parking lot. The testing is courtesy of a partnership with Kroger Health.

Those eligible for screening include health care workers and others with and without symptoms. The testing requires completion of a virtual screening tool, which can be found here. After selecting the U of M testing location and appointment time, patients will receive an email confirmation with pre-appointment paperwork.

The testing is in the form of a self-administered nasal swab. When arriving at the site, patients should leave their vehicle windows rolled up until instructed otherwise and have their photo ID ready. 

Test results are expected within about 48 hours. Kroger Health expects to administer 250 tests daily.
