What’s the Best place in New Orleans or the River Parish area to get an antigen quick test for travel. my flight leaves at 2 o’clock pm so I would prefer to get the test very early the same day
Is free same-day testing still available. I?
I cannot find anything positive on the Internet that it is still possible to do this.
I would prefer to take the test and leave with my results in hand.

Thanks to all

In early Jan I used Gretna Medical Center for a 15 min turnaround PCR with QR code as required by some countries.
They also do antigen.

Pro - got the test and hard-to-find QR code.
Con - place was very crowded that day and swamped with walkins... reservations were pointless. Test was 15min...wait was hour and a half.

Walgreens and CVS both do free, rapid testing but you need an appt.

For travel, I ordered the eMed tests using my HSA account which are proctored by a healthcare professional and afterwards submitted the receipt to my insurance company who reimburses $12 per test

Results in 15 minutes and I test from my living room

This is one of my main concerns...if I am testing to travel no way do I want to go to where people who are symptomatic gather
