Richland County Free Community Testing

FREE COVID-19 drive-thru community testing events will continue in Richland County on MONDAYS ONLY from 9am-11am at the Richland County Fairgrounds at least through May.  Appointments are not required, but we are asking that those who wish to be tested pre-register at https://register.covidconnect.wi.gov.  The website allows individuals to register for testing in advance with their personal information and gives them a QR code to scan at the testing site.  Individuals who utilize this option will receive an email with their test results rather than a phone call.  The Richland County Fairgrounds is a drive-thru testing site, so everyone will remain in their vehicles at all times. Vehicles with more than one person in them are welcome to be tested.  You will be asked to register prior to testing, if you did not pre-register, if you need assistance registering on-site staff will be available to help you.  The test will consist of a nasal swab and is sent to a State approved lab for analysis and results follow-up should occur approximately 3-7 business days post event.
