WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. — The Arkansas Department of Health continued its series of free COVID-19 testing across the state Saturday. 

Tents were set up outside the Lehr Arena in West Memphis, Arkansas for anyone who wanted to be tested with or without symptoms.

The site will use a self-administered nasal swab test that allows you to swab your own nose onsite.  

More sites will be open Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays weekly from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.  You must have a face mask to be tested.  

No matter where you live in the Mid-South, text the word “test” to 901-321-7520 and Local 24 News will reply with a list of all the current testing sites.
