Went for rapid testing. The service was fast & polite, once the employee explained the steps. To be tested: you must stay in your car, park, call the # on the door, give model of car, they come out hv you fill out an info sheet & swab yourself, results in 10mins. If you're getting a vaccine: you'll be allowed inside, fill out info sheet & wait to be called. Must wear mask!
