COVID-19 Testing Before the Holiday

A local non profit clinic is offering free COVID- 19 testing ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, in case people want results before they travel.

Free Rapid COVID-19 testing will be made available next Wednesday at the Naples non-profit clinicPANIRA. The first 50 uninsured patients will be able to be tested between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the clinic in Naples. Insurance will also be accepted from those who have it. Walk-in patients are welcome.

The Clinic continues to offer free testing daily to anyone who makes the request; for those tests, patients will have results in 2 to 3 days. PANIRA also offers affordable rapid COVID-19 testing daily with results in 15 to 30 minutes. Both, the molecular rapid test and antibody testing, are being made possible with the support of a Collier Cares Grant.

PANIRA is located at 4975 Tamiami Trail East in Naples, Florida, along US 41 near the Rattlesnake Hammock intersection.
