Free community COVID-19 testing in Kekaha this Saturday
LĪHU‘E — Mayor Derek S.K. Kawakami announced that a free community testing
event will be held Saturday morning at Kekaha Elementary School after the Kaua‘i
District Health Office identified several new cases of COVID-19 in the Kekaha area.
The District Health Office, in partnership with the County, will be holding the free
community COVID-19 testing opportunity this Saturday, Nov. 28, from 9 a.m. to noon at
Kekaha Elementary School. This will be a drive-up testing event. All ages are welcome,
and there is no charge. There is no online pre-registration for this testing event.
Meanwhile, the County’s weekly Sunday surge testing program continues Nov.
29 in Līhu‘e, Dec. 6 in Kapa ‘a, and Dec. 13 in Hanapēpē. Online pre-registration is
strongly encouraged for the weekly Sunday surge testing events. For more information,
please visit kauai.gov/test.
If you receive a positive test notification from any community testing programs,
please immediately inform the Kauai District Health Office at 808-241-3387. The Health
Department will assist you and your close contacts with ensuring that you take
appropriate precautions to prevent spreading the disease to others. Health department
staff will help with meeting your needs during the isolation and quarantine periods.
