The City and Borough of Juneau Emergency Operations Center will no longer be holding pop-up COVID-19 testing clinics on Mondays at Sitʼ Eeti Shaanáx̱ – Glacier Valley School or on Wednesdays at Dzantik’i Heeni Middle School. Instead, staff members of Capital City Fire/Rescue’s Mobile Integrated Health Program will work to keep people out of the Emergency Department, easing pressure off Bartlett Regional Hospital.

If you need a COVID-19 test, register online here (or at bit.ly/registerCOVIDtest) to test at the CBJ’s drive-thru testing facility, contact your health provider, or utilize another testing option in Juneau.

In addition, CBJ will continue to hold pop-up COVID-19 testing clinics every Tuesday and Thursday at 3-5 p.m. at the Downtown 20th Century Theatre. These testing opportunities are available to the general public. No appointment is required.
