COVID-19 testing

Pima County's COVID-19 testing location at Kino Event Center will close at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 6, as the site converts to an indoor vaccination center.

The testing site has been operated by Paradigm Labs, which plans to retain a smaller testing area at another location to be determined. Paradigm will partner with the County to run the vaccination site at Kino Event Center, 2805 E. Ajo Way.

Due to an increase in snowfall, vaccination appointments at Fort Tuthill in Flagstaff for today, January 25, from 1 p.m. and onward are cancelled. Those with cancelled vaccine appointments will be contacted directly via email to reschedule. If you have a vaccination appointment scheduled up to and including 12 p.m. today, your appointment still stands and we are expecting you to arrive. Coconino County intends to operate the vaccination site tomorrow, Jan. 25, as usual.

The Coconino County COVID-19 testing site located at Fort Tuthill County Park in Flagstaff will move to a new location effective Saturday, Jan. 23. The move to the new site at Coconino Community College (CCC), 2800 S Lone Tree Rd. will allow the County to expand vaccine administration at Fort Tuthill County Park and at mobile sites throughout the County when additional doses of the COVID-19 vaccine become available.

The Pima County Health Department announced Friday expanded free COVID-19 testing at several locations, as test positivity rates approach 12% and new cases surge locally, in the state, and nationwide.

“What we’re seeing right now is scary,” Dr. Theresa Cullen, Director of the Pima County Health Department, said. “Cases are well above our summer surge, when Arizona was a world-wide COVID-19 hotspot. Testing, in addition to wearing masks, limiting socializing, and hand washing, is one of our main tools to help curb this pandemic.”

Today only, the COVID-19 testing site at Fort Tuthill County Park in Flagstaff will be
by appointment only due to the overwhelming response for COVID-19 testing, ASU staffing shortages and laboratory capacity.

Those seeking a COVID-19 test must have an appointment to be tested. To register for an appointment, visit the Arizona Department of Health Services website. There are a limited number of appointments available and the site is unable to exceed this number due to lab processing capacity.

All Coconino County offices will be closed Wednesday, November 11 in observance of Veterans Day, a celebration to honor America's veterans for their patriotism and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.

Testing site hours are Monday – Friday from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. - 12 p.m.
