“I strongly encourage anyone who wants or thinks they should get tested, to come to this drive-through testing,” Mayor Michael Victorino said. “As our health officials have said, it’s very important that we keep testing our community widely and accurately in order to limit the spread of this virus. We want to mahalo Minit Medical again, for their hard work and partnership to administer these drive-through events for Maui County.”
