MADISON, Wis. — The free COVID-19 community testing site at the Alliant Energy Center has been extended to at least March 31, 2021.
Tests are free and available to anyone 5 years and older. Pre-registration is highly encouraged.
“Robust testing remains one of the best means of early identification of COVID-19 and helps limit its spread,” Dane County Executive Joe Parisi said. “With vaccine production increasing there are reasons for hope as the New Year dawns, but we know there’s still plenty of work in front of us to help keep one another healthy and safe.”
According to Public Health Madison & Dane County, more than 330,000 tests have been administered at the site since it opened in May. The site is a partnership between PHMDC and the state.
“We are very lucky to have this incredible resource at our doorstep and are thankful that Public Health is able to continue this critical element of the COVID-19 response,” City of Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway said.
The testing site is open Tuesdays and Thursdays from noon to 8 p.m., and Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The site will be open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, and it will be closed on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day.
