The kiosk is in partnership with Curative, which operates three additional sites in the County. The kiosk is located at 3809 10th Street N. and can be found in the southwest corner of Quincy Park near the tennis courts. Hours of operation are from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily beginning on Monday, January 10, 2022.

"Demand for COVID-19 testing is at an all-time high. By adding an additional testing site, located in a densely populated metro corridor, we hope to help meet that demand and remove barriers to testing access for all Arlingtonians,” said Dr. Aaron Miller, Director of the Department of Public Safety Communications and Emergency Management.

Curative, which operates more than 8,000 testing sites across the country, uses a test that is self-administered under the supervision of a Curative worker in a kiosk. The swab is then placed inside a biohazard bag and returned to the Curative worker. Swabs from the Arlington kiosks will be delivered each night to a lab in Washington, D.C. Test results will be sent electronically to patients within 48 to 72 hours. Visit Curative's website for Common Q&As and Advice. For COVID-19 related questions or for information on additional COVID-19 testing locations, including other County kiosks as well as private testing locations, visit the County website or call 703-228-7999.
