COVID-19 Testing

Hyattsville COVID-19 Testing Site

THE HYATTSVILLE COVID-19 TESTING AND VACCINE SITE WILL END OPERATIONS MAY 9, 2023.

Free, non-appointment COVID-19 PCR testing is available for all ages in the parking lot at the First United Methodist Church in Hyattsville, 6201 Belcrest Road. Hours of operation are Mondays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m., and Saturdays from 9 a.m. - 1 p.m. (Except holidays.) Children 17 and younger must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

As the testing takes place in tents that are exposed to the elements, the site may occasionally need to close for inclement weather. Sign up for City updates to receive alerts when the site is closing.

The site offers both drive-thru and walk-up tests. Drivers should enter the parking lot using the entrance off of MD Route 410 (East-West Highway) across from the Safeway. Walk-up tests are offered on the side of the Church facing Belcrest Road. Please wear a mask and follow traffic guidance.

The Church is located within walking distance of the Prince George's Plaza Metro Station and several bus routes. View a local transit map.

This site is being operated as a partnership between the City, Luminis Health, the Prince George's County Health Department, and the First United Methodist Church of Hyattsville.

There are many COVID-19 test sites available in Prince George's County. Please visit the County's COVID-19 testing page for a locator map, or call 311 for a list of available sites.
