Photo gallery Surge COVID-19 testing offered at Nielsen Tennis Stadium
Community members took advantage of COVID-19 surge testing being freely offered at Nielsen Tennis Stadium from Nov. 12 to the end of the year. Participants do not need to be a UW–Madison student or employee. The surge testing uses rapid antigen testing from Abbott BinaxNOW, which can deliver results in as little as 15 minutes. A follow up PCR test is required to confirm a positive coronavirus result . The program, supported by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, allocated approximately 80,000 testing kits to UW–Madison. Participants must make an appointment online at here prior to arrival. Test results and site hours are available on the same website.
