Free COVID-19 testing continues in Jefferson, Dane counties

Hours are from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Fridays and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays.

Free coronavirus testing is also held five days a week at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison.

The site is open from noon to 8 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.

The Dane County test site is closed Sundays and Mondays.

If lines and overflow parking are at capacity, gates may close before the scheduled end time to ensure everyone is tested in a timely manner. In certain other circumstances, testing may be limited to people with symptoms or who have had close contact with someone who has COVID-19.

Public Health Dane County & Madison will provide updated wait times at the site through its Twitter account.

Those being tested in Madison do not need to be Dane County residents.

To register, visit register.covidconnect.wi.gov. You will receive an email confirmation with a personal QR code.

Pre-registration is recommended; persons unable to do so will be assisted by the National Guard upon arrival.

All Wisconsin residents age 5 and older are eligible, and one need not have to have symptoms to be tested.

After collecting the specimens, the Guard will send the test kits to a lab for analysis, and individual citizens will receive their results via telephone from their local health department or a state call center within three to seven days after the test.
