SPOKANE, Wash. – Through established partnerships with Spokane Regional Health District (SRHD) and Washington State Department of Health (DOH), Discovery Health MD’s operation of COVID-19 testing sites in Spokane County will implement holiday hours and offer rapid antigen tests at the Spokane Falls Community College (SFCC) location from 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. on Dec. 24 and Dec. 31, 2021, in lieu of the standard lab-based PCR test.

As the public plans to connect more during the holidays, implementing holiday hours along with rapid antigen testing options at SFCC (3410 W. Whistalks Way, Spokane, WA 99224) will increase the overall testing capacity to keep loved ones safe. The testing site at the Spokane Fair and Expo Center will be closed Dec. 24 and Dec. 31, 2022.

Discovery Health MD will perform the rapid BD Veritor Antigen tests for anyone who has symptoms of COVID-10 or has been exposed to someone with COVD-19. Test results for a rapid Antigen test are available within an hour. Test results are delivered through a secure online portal. Individuals who test positive will receive a phone call.

Online registration for an appointment time is encouraged, but not required. Health insurance will be asked for but is not required. There is no cost for the test.

SRHD health officials explained although the rapid antigen tests are not often accepted for negative test verification in order to travel or attend events, they do help you make good decisions about attending holiday gatherings with friends and family. You learn within an hour whether you need to stay home and isolate in order to keep others safe.
