SHREVEPORT, La. (KSLA) – Beginning Tuesday, April 19, the Center for Emerging Viral Threats (CEVT) at LSU Health Shreveport will no longer offer COVID-19 testing at its North Campus site.
This change is due to the low number of COVID-19 cases reported in recent weeks. Health officials say there has been a decrease in demand and funding for community testing throughout the country. While this free site will no longer offer testing, there are other options still available for testing. It can be done at many pharmacies, primary care facilities, health units, and urgent cares.

The site is located at 2627 Linwood Ave. Shots will be offered Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Preregistration is encouraged, but not required.
