Urgentems at 201 Market Street (just across from the Convention Center garage) is doing On Demand Covid for Travel tests (if you must have a test prior to getting on a plane, traveling to another country, etc.). You can drive up and get the test; turnaround on results is about 14 hours. They are also still giving the Regeneron Monoclonal Antibody treatments, which are still very effective in preventing the worsening of the Delta Covid variant and could also help with Omicron.
