New Orleans COVID-19 Services

New Orleans COVID-19 Services

April 1, 2020 By Crescent City Living

You’ve got this, New Orleans. You know how to handle adversity. You know how to handle hardship. You’re working on that whole can’t hug anyone thing. You have, possibly, filled your freezer with all of the things you’ve cooked over the last couple of weeks (gumbo, anyone?!?).

But you might need a little help with some of the other things that have come along with COVID-19.

Help for tenants

City of New Orleans rental assistance program for workers impacted by the Coronavirus pandemic starts on April 1, 2020 and is open to Orleans Parish residents who are not getting paid by their employer or are not receiving rental assistance through other organizations.

Having an issue with your landlord attempting to evict you illegally? Contact Southeast Louisiana legal services.

Drive through COVID-19 testing

New Orleans COVID-19 testing will continue daily at the UNO Lakefront Arena parking lot for individuals who arrive in a vehicle, are 18 years of age or older, and who have an on-site fever or a self-reported fever with a cough or shortness of breath. Hours of operation will be from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. or until the daily cap of 500 tests is reached. 

Jefferson Parish:

Drive-through COVID-19 testing is available daily at the Alario Center to any individual who is 18 years or older with symptoms, with a cap of 250 tests per day.

Through a pilot program with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), COVID-19 testing is offered at the Alario Center Parking Lot, 2000 Segnette Blvd. Westwego, LA 70094, to individuals who meet specific criteria. The site is open at 8 a.m. seven days a week.

Procedure
Upon arrival at the site, individuals will be required to remain in their vehicles and to provide identification, which needs to be a Louisiana driver’s license, state-issued ID or medical/first-responder credentials.

Personnel in full medical protective gear will check the individual’s temperature with a no-touch thermometer and insert a nasal swab to obtain the necessary sample.

For the safety of the testing personnel, the drive-through site will not be able to accommodate walk-up individuals. Individuals must arrive in a vehicle.
