County’s testing center, mobile testing van implements ticketing system
LĪHUʻE – The County of Kaua‘i reminds the public that a ticketing system is now in place at the
Kaua‘i War Memorial Convention Hall testing center and the county’s mobile testing van. This ticketing
system is meant to prevent extended lines and crowding, due to the current high demand for testing.
Testing at these sites is not for those who are experiencing symptoms. If you are sick with COVID
symptoms, please seek testing at a drive-thru or clinical site.
Kaua‘i War Memorial Convention Hall Testing Site:
At the Kaua‘i War Memorial Convention Hall, ticket distribution begins at 8 a.m., weekdays.
Five-hundred tickets each day are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Tickets will include a time
to return for a testing appointment later that same day. Please note that all tickets are generally gone by
9 a.m., due to high demand.
Those with tickets for testing appointments are asked to return at their testing time or wait in
their vehicles until their testing time, to avoid overcrowding.
The Kaua‘i War Memorial Convention Hall testing center is located at 4191 Hardy Street in
Līhu‘e. It is open Monday to Friday, from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.; closed weekends and holidays.
Mobile Testing Van:
The county’s mobile testing van opens from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at a different community each day.
A maximum of 100 tickets are available on a first-come first-served basis. The mobile testing van is
located on Wednesdays at Kekaha Neighborhood Center, Thursdays at Kīlauea Neighborhood Center,
Fridays at Kalāheo Neighborhood Center, and Saturdays at Hanalei Neighborhood Center.
The van is also in Kapa‘a at Bryan J. Baptiste Sports Complex on Sundays, where 200 tickets are
available.
Both the Kaua‘i War Memorial Convention Hall and mobile testing van offer free rapid PCR
COVID-19 testing with same-day results, provided by the County of Kaua‘i in partnership with the Kaua‘i
District Health Office. Photo ID is required for adults. Children must be accompanied by a parent or
