Hawaii County will offer free COVID-19 tests daily at several drive-through locations on the Big Island through Oct. 2, according to a county press release.

Residents don’t need insurance to get the test, though officials ask that they bring insurance cards if they have one. People also won’t have to pay a co-pay for the tests, according to the county.
