Weekly Update for 5.08.20
Testing Available for All
Early in the pandemic, COVID-19 tests were in short supply and reserved for the sickest patients and high-priority workers. But now, as more test kits are manufactured and laboratories are expanding their capacity to process tests, COVID-19 testing is much easier to access.
This week, Governor Kemp announced that all Georgians can now get tested, whether they have symptoms or not.
To help meet this goal, we have 3 specimen collection sites that operate by appointment (even on weekends!) in Savannah, Brunswick, and Richmond Hill. To get an appointment, call our COVID-19 Testing Call Center at 912-230-9744. Appointments are often available the same day you call.
We are also holding “pop-up” drive-through specimen collection events. These mobile sites are being set up in more rural areas so we can reach people who may not be able to get to one of the sites in Savannah, Brunswick, or Richmond Hill.
