No appointment is necessary for this event but preregistration is highly encouraged at https://testreg.nd.gov/ . This process is not required to be completed in order to receive a test but is recommended to speed up a person's overall testing event experience.

On the day of the event, individuals tested are asked to approach 422 2nd Ave. NW from the west and wait until directed to drive through for testing. Individuals tested will not need to exit their vehicle. Nursing staff will conduct tests to individuals still in their vehicle.
Positive test results will be shared in 24-72 hours, while negative results may take five to seven days.
