Drive-thru COVID-19 testing is being offered in ten South Dakota communities– including Pierre, Mobridge and Oacoma– over the next two weeks.
These events are open to the public and testing will come at no charge to the individual receiving the test, but pre-registration is required to secure a testing time. Register by going to www.DoINeedaCOVID19test.com. After registering, individuals will receive an appointment and a test voucher that must be printed and brought to the testing site. People without appointments will only be tested if time slots are not full.
Testing times are local. Exact locations available upon registration.

Testing locations will use a self-administered nasal swab for specimen collection so individuals will swab their own nose, supervised by trained medical staff. Results are delivered within 3-5 business days. Individuals being tested will receive an email notification when results are available and can log on to the website to view and print laboratory results.
While awaiting results, individuals who have been tested should follow CDC guidelines and take steps to help prevent the virus from spreading to people in their home and community.
The drive through COVID-19 testing is available through a partnership between the South Dakota Department of Health, the South Dakota National Guard, the South Dakota Office of Emergency Management and the US Department of Health and Human Services.
Testing will also be offered in Aberdeen, Custer, Madison, Martin, Spearfish, Watertown and Yankton. The list of dates and times testing will be available in each community is also posted on the State COVID-19 website: covid.sd.gov/testing.aspx.
