Spokane Covid Response issued the following announcement on April 29.

The drive-through Community COVID-19 Screening Site, at Spokane County Fair and Expo Center, will remain open for COVID-19 screening and testing beyond its previously scheduled April 30 closing date. Washington National Guard are providing staff support to maintain clinic operations. During the staffing transition, the Community COVID-19 Screening Site temporarily close on dand Saturday, May 1-2. Operations resumed Monday, May 4 and business hours will be Monday-Friday 10:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m., closed on weekends.

In addition, select CHAS, Providence, MultiCare (Rockwood & Indigo), Unify, Native Project, Kaiser Permanente and Franklin Park Urgent Care clinics will offer COVID-19 screening and testing throughout Spokane County starting Friday, May 1. Having a variety of COVID-19 screening and testing locations will provide individuals more convenient access to these services throughout the county. A map of COVID-19 screening locations will be available soon. The map will also include sites for people without insurance or who do not have a regular health care provider.

The Community COVID-19 Screening Site was set up at the Spokane County Fair and Expo Center to support health care partners and give them time to develop screening protocols, within their own clinic systems, to protect the public and their staff. Now that their screening and testing capabilities are ready, individuals may access these services by calling their regular health care provider to determine next steps. The Fairgrounds site will remain open, on a week-by-week basis, depending on community testing needs and utilization of services.
