Free Drive-Through COVID-19 Testing set for Thursday, Feb. 18, in Hana

Participants must pre-register for free testing

Free drive-through COVID-19 testing will be available for Hana residents on Thursday, Feb. 18, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Hana Ball Park, Mayor Michael Victorino announced.

All participants must pre-register by visiting www.minitmed.com/pre-register-maui-covid-19. Participants are asked to come to the test site at their designated time, and motorists can only access the drive-through testing area by turning on to Hauoli Road from Hana Highway.

Residents need not have insurance or meet any criteria to get the free test, but all participants must wear a face mask. Results will be reported on the same day. Minit Medical is administering the program sponsored by the County of Maui.

“Minit Medical Urgent Care has administered more than 22,000 COVID-19 tests in its ongoing partnership with the County of Maui,” Mayor Victorino said. “Our voluntary testing program for residents and visitors began in mid-October, and has found almost 500 positive cases. Aggressive testing allows early contact tracing that prevents rapid community spread.”

If you have any problem pre-registering, please call (808) 667-6161 ext: 7, for help and more information.

NOTE: The free testing is not valid for the State’s Pre-Travel Testing Program.
