City of Long Beach opens COVID-19 testing site at Queen Mary

The city of Long Beach has partnered with Covid Clinic, a California-based nonprofit, to open a rapid COVID-19 testing site in the Queen Mary parking lot starting Aug.19.

Covid Clinic, which was founded by a doctor in Huntington Beach, offers test results in 60 minutes using a device that has received emergency use authorization from the FDA.

The test costs $150 but may be submitted for reimbursement by a patient’s health insurance. 

“We’ve opened a testing site in Long Beach! We wouldn’t have been able to make this possible without our incredible team,” Covid Clinic said on Instagram.
