The parking lot at the Family Arena is the new testing spot.
Starting today, people in the St. Louis area have a new option for COVID-19 testing.
The parking lot at the Family Arena in St. Charles (2002 Arena Parkway) is now a drive-through testing site and offers PCR tests with results 48 hours after the receipt of the sample.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, PCR tests are generally more sensitive than the more common antigen tests that are sold over-the-counter. PCR tests can indicate an infection on a lower viral load, which means that PCR tests can often give a more accurate result.
This testing site will be open from today, Monday, January 3, through Thursday, January 13, 2022. Testing will be done from 8 a.m. through 4 p.m. but pre-registration and appointments are required.
Visit Health.Mo.Gov/communitytest to make an appointment at the St. Charles location or to find up-to -the-minute information on this and other testing locations.
Current testing locations and links to find a free vaccine or booster are listed below.
