Those who want to be tested must provide a name and phone number so officials can reach them later with their test results. No photo ID is required.

Those who want to remain in their cars during the test must be seated at a functioning window, though both sites will also allow people to walk up, officials said. Test results should be available within four to seven days, officials said.
