ORAL FLUID COVID-19 TEST NOW AVAILABLE IN SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
The Department of Health and Curative are further expanding their COVID-19 testing partnership to include ten locations in southeast New Mexico.
In addition to the six locations across the state, two sites in southeast New Mexico will now provide the less invasive, oral fluid tests. The sites are already established under the Public Health Offices and have been providing nasopharyngeal tests to the public since testing began. Those tests will be exchanged this week for the Curative tests in Artesia, Carlsbad, Hobbs, Roswell, Clovis, Ft. Sumner, Lovington, Portales, Ruidoso and Tucumcari. A list of the testing days, times, and locations can be found below.
Curative is a California research company that created the first oral fluid test in the United States. As with all COVID-19 tests in New Mexico, these tests will be administered for free; clients must pre-register at curative.com
