State Testing Sites

Testing Kiosks

Colorado launched its first two COVID-19 testing kiosks this week at Greeley’s University of Northern Colorado and at Denver International Airport. Note: The DIA location is for use only by employees.

The kiosk tests are self-administered, with patients coughing and swabbing the inside of their cheek and the roof of their mouth, then returning the swab in a sealed container to be tested. Results are provided within 48 hours.

The UNC location is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The UNC kiosk is open to all Coloradans, not just those associated with the university. It accepts walk-ins, but residents can register ahead of time at curative.com.

More testing kiosks will be announced at later dates.

Walgreens

Walgreens provides COVID-19 testing at locations in Denver, Aurora, Greeley, Loveland, Grand Junction and Avon.

To sign up for a test, participants must complete a screening survey online then choose a time and location for a testing appointment. At the appointment, a Walgreens pharmacy member will meet the participant at their car and help them to perform the nasal swab test.

The swab will be sent to PWNHealth, which will contact the patient with results.

Walmart

Walmart pharmacies provide drive-thru COVID-19 tests at locations in Aurora, Colorado Springs, Grand Junction, Northglenn and Pueblo.

To receive a test, patients must first get a request from their doctor or health plan for an observed self-collection COVID-19 test.

Those with requests from their doctor or health plan can schedule an appointment at appointment.questdiagnostics.com/patient/appointment.

Health Mart Pharmacies

Health Mart Pharmacies provide COVID-19 testing at locations in Denver, Boulder, Longmont, Lafayette, Littleton, Aurora, Lakewood and Englewood.

To sign up for a test, participants must complete a screening survey online and receive an eligibility voucher. At the appointment, participants must present their voucher and an ID. A pharmacy member will meet the participant at their car and help them to perform the nasal swab test.

Results will be emailed within three to five business days.

eTrue North

eTrue North pharmacies provide COVID-19 testing at locations in Denver and Greeley.

To sign up for a test, participants must complete a screening survey online and receive an eligibility voucher. At the appointment, participants must present their voucher and an ID. A pharmacy member will meet the participant at their car and help them to perform the nasal swab test.

Results will be emailed within three to five business days.

King Soopers

By the end of November, King Soopers will provide rapid antibody testing in Colorado stores to determine if a person has previously been infected with the coronavirus.

The finger-prick blood sample test will provide results in about 15 minutes and cost $25.

The FDA-authorized tests are already available at King Soopers’ Kroger pharmacies in Michigan and California.

This article has been updated to correct that the DIA testing kiosk is only for employees.
