Beginning October 12th, outdoor COVID-19 testing will be available to the public at Rice-Eccles Stadium. The collaborative effort between University of Utah Health and University of Utah brings testing to residents on the east side of the Salt Lake Valley. The Rice-Eccles testing site will also serve University campus needs by testing symptomatic faculty, staff, and students.
The Rice-Eccles COVID-19 testing site will be open Monday–Friday, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, and Saturday and Sunday, 8:00 am to noon. Appointments are required for COVID-19 testing at Rice-Eccles Stadium. U of U Health is testing patients through self-collected saliva. Patients can access the COVID-19 testing site on the south side of Rice-Eccles Stadium at 500 South.
COVID-19 tests can be scheduled in the following ways:
- A current patient can schedule an appointment through MyChart or the MyChart app.
- A patient who does not have MyChart can schedule an appointment online.
- Patients can call U of U Health's coronavirus hotline; however, because of high volumes at the call center, patients may experience longer wait times, so we encourage patients to schedule online whenever possible.
