Quest Diagnostics will open a new COVID-19 drive-through test site in the Walmart parking lot at 4770 Colonial Blvd. and a second test site in the Walmart parking lot at 545 Pine Island Road, North Fort Myers, on May 15.

Individuals must be 18 years of age or older to be tested and meet CDC and state and local guidelines for who should be tested.  This includes first responders, health care providers and others with symptoms of COVID-19 and those in high risk groups without symptoms.  There is no out-of-pocket cost for individuals.

You must first qualify for COVID-19 screening and schedule an appointment  at: www.MyQuestCOVIDTest.com. On-site scheduling will be available for those who need assistance with scheduling.

The drive-through sites will be open 7 a.m. – 9 a.m., Monday, Wednesday and Friday, weather permitting.  You are asked to arrive no more than 10 minutes prior to your appointment and bring a valid photo ID for proof of identity.  To be tested, individuals must have a scheduled appointment and be present in a vehicle, as no walk-ups will be seen.

Those being tested will need to wear a mask, stay in their cars for verification of eligibility criteria, ID check and sample self-collection.  If you don’t believe you will be able to self-administer the nasal swab, please bring someone with you who can assist you.

Individuals being tested will receive their COVID-19 test results through the secure MyQuest online portal or app or may receive a call from a telehealth partner to review results. If you have not received your test results after 5 days, you may call Quest’s COVID-19 line at 866-448-7719.
