•Afook Chinen Auditorium in Hilo, 8 a.m. until noon. (provider: Premier Medical)
• Kea’au High School, 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. (provider: Premier Medical)
All the testing is free. Plan to stay in your car, and wear a face mask when talking with anybody outside your vehicle. It’s helpful to bring your own pen to fill out the form, and easier if you bring a clipboard or hard surface on which to write.
