December 9, 2020

Starting this Thursday, the Mayor’s Mobile Neighborhood Testing Program is returning to Consolidated Baptist Church, Mayor Linda Gorton announced today.

“Our community is thankful for partners, such as Consolidated Baptist, who continue to step-up and provide support for our Mayor’s Mobile Neighborhood Testing Program,” Mayor Gorton said. “The program has been a great success, and with these partners, we plan to continue testing as long as we can.”

As of December 9, the Lexington Fayette County Health Department reported a total of 19,464 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Lexington, and 137 local deaths have been attributed to the virus.

The Mayor’s Mobile Neighborhood Testing Program will be in service from 9 a.m.-4 p.m., December 10-12 at Consolidated Baptist Church, 1625 Russell Cave Road.

The program provides public testing at no cost to the individual. Testing is available without an appointment, with both walk-up and drive-up options. Results are generally available in 48-72 hours.

Since starting the mobile testing program in late June, over 18,000 tests have been administered in 71 testing days.

OTHER  TEST  SITES

There are additional free public testing locations across Lexington.

In coordination with the state and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, free Drive-thru testing is now available at Keeneland Race Course. Located at 4201 Versailles Road, this site was selected by the state for surge testing. Testing is available 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday through Friday. A reservation is required by visiting doineedacovid19test.com.

Drive-thru testing is available at Bluegrass Community and Technical College, 500 Newtown Pike. Testing is available 9 a.m.-4 p.m., Monday through Friday. No appointment is needed.

Additionally, through a partnership with the University of Kentucky, UK HealthCare and Wild Health, testing is available to the public at 1350 Bull Lea Road and in the Blue Lot of Kroger Field (enter off Alumni Drive). These sites are not intended for UK student testing. Free drive-thru testing is available from 8 a.m.-4 p.m., seven days a week.  Appointments are required and can be made by visiting lexington.wildhealth.com.

Free drive-thru testing is available at Southland Christian Church, 2349 Richmond Road from 9 a.m.- 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. No appointment is necessary.
