COVID-19 drive-thru testing sites reducing operations 

The Kitsap Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and Kitsap Public Health will this week offer drive-thru COVID-19 testing two days each week. Effective immediately, there will no longer be testing at the Harborside (Bremerton) and City of Poulsbo locations.

As COVID-19 testing options have increased across the county, the demand for testing at drive-thru sites has declined over the last couple weeks. Closing these sites allows the EOC to consolidate resources. If the need for testing increases beyond capacity at the Fairgrounds location (Mondays and Thursdays), additional sites will be considered. To schedule an appointment at this location, visit kcowa.us/covidtesting.
