INFORMATION RELEASE

February 23, 2022

 

CBJ’s COVID-19 hotline & drive-thru testing site to operate 5 days a week starting Feb. 28

The City and Borough of Juneau’s COVID-19 hotline and drive-thru testing facility will be closed on Wednesday and Sunday starting the week of February 28. To schedule a COVID-19 molecular test and get results within 24 hours, register online or call the COVID-19 hotline at 907-586-6000 from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

CBJ’s Emergency Operation Center implemented the drive-thru testing site and the hotline in March 2020 and both have consistently been operating seven days a week. Scaling down operations to 5 days a week starting the week of February 28 is due to lower demand for testing, wider availability of rapid antigen testing, and the eventual need to shift COVID testing away from an emergency model. CBJ’s Emergency Operations Center anticipates continuing to scale back operations at its drive-thru testing site and hotline over the coming months. Ideally, COVID testing will become a standard of care at health providers or clinics that provide diagnostic testing.

Juneau’s COVID-19 drive-thru testing facility is located at the Hagevig Fire Training Center (2601 Sherwood Lane) and is operated by Capital City Fire/Rescue staff. Tests are collected at the drive-thru facility and sent to Bartlett Regional Hospital to be analyzed.
