They have rapid tests if you go to a place that has them and pay for it.

I got results twice of a free, combined, test within 5 hours.

You have to understand that these free test are not directly for the benefit of you as a private individual but for the health authorities to keep a picture of what is going on in the community at large. Also they are a free service to you if you have the results within the period that you need it.

Did a free test at a shopping mall today. Whole process took less than half an hour. Result came in about 5 hours later. No problems.

No test required at Metro South and Walmart. Strict control on masks and entry scanning however.
