Posted
and last updated

Next week, COVID-19 testing sites operated by the Louisiana Army National Guard (LANG) in the Acadiana region will be open from Monday, December 21 to Wednesday, December 23. Testing will be paused from December 24-26 for the holidays. These sites are closed during inclement weather.

The best way to show your loved ones you care this holiday season is to reduce the likelihood that you spread COVID to them. Celebrate at home with your immediate household and continue to take precautions: practice social distancing, wear a mask and wash your hands. If you have been exposed or have symptoms of COVID-19, get tested.

Pre-registration for COVID-19 testing is encouraged by going to Health.QuestDiagnostics.com/STLOU [t.e2ma.net]. Testing is for ages 3 and older. There is no cost, and no identification is needed. Test results are available by calling 1-866-MYQUEST (1-866-697-8378), but note that wait times can be lengthy. Test results are also available through the Quest online portal or app.
