A public COVID-19 testing site at UNLV opens today at the Stan Fulton Building after relocating from the Thomas & Mack Center.
Testing at the Fulton Building at University Center Drive and East Flamingo Road is open from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays.
Clark County and University Medical Center are operating the new site with the Nevada National Guard, UNLV and University Police Services.
An indoor testing area for those with no symptoms will be located in the ballroom on the first floor. Those with symptoms will be diverted to a testing area in a courtyard.
Due to increased demand for COVID-19 testing at public testing sites, appointments at the UNLV and Cashman Center sites are highly recommended to reduce wait times. Appointments at either site can be scheduled through UMC’s website at www.umcsn.com . Those with no online access cal call UMC at 702-383-2619 to schedule appointments. Both sites accept some walk-ins each day on a first-come, first-served basis as staffing allows.
Face coverings, temperature checks and social distancing are required at both sites, according to a release.

Operations have resumed at the drive-thru testing site at Texas Station, which is open from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Thursdays through Mondays. Appointments are not required, but online registration with the Southern Nevada Health District is recommended to alleviate lines.
