The Sedgwick County Health Department is expanding hours for COVID-19 testing at its facility at Sedgwick County Park.
The Sunflower Shelter at the park, at 6501 West 21st Street North, has been the location for the county’s sampling site. The site will now be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. The Wednesday hours will be 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The site offers no-cost, walk-in testing to all residents regardless of symptoms, and no appointment is needed. People should enter the park from 13th Street and follow the signs in the park. Staff will take a nasal, oral or saliva sample to send to a lab for molecular testing, and results are generally available by the afternoon of the next weekday.
