The test consists of a small swab put just past the entry part of the nose.

Results take about seven days.

Minors are welcome but they must have a signed permission form from their parent or guardian. Forms are available at each site. The time to drive in, test while sitting in your car and leaving is expected to take less than 30 minutes.
