Free drive-thru COVID-19 testing is being offered in several cities in Missouri, including Joplin, Aurora and Branson. The tests will be administered in Joplin Wednesday, October 28, Friday, October 30, and Monday, November 2, from 7 to 9 a.m. at the Walmart on 7th Street.

Testing is also being done at other sites across Missouri in partnership with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Pre-registration is required, and you don't have to be a resident of the city where the testing is taking place. Learn more at DoINeedaCOVID19test.com.
