- This testing is open to the community, all are welcome, while supplies last.
- You do not have to be symptomatic
- Do not need a referral
- There is no charge, but we’ll file insurance to cover costs. No one will be turned way.
- Everyone is urged to wear a face covering of some kind. If you do not have one, a face covering will be provided.
While North Carolinians enter into the “Safer at Home, Phase 2” re-opening, it is still imperative that everyone take responsibility for their actions as they experience the easing of restrictions. Everyone is encouraged to “Know Your W’s!”: Wear a face covering, Wait 6 feet apart from other people, Wash your hands often.
It is important to make sure the information you are getting about COVID-19 is coming directly from reliable sources like the CDC, NCDHHS and Henderson County Public Health. For more information, call the North Carolina Coronavirus Hotline at 1-866-462-3821 (staffed by nurses and pharmacists 24/7), or visit the Center for Disease Control’s website for information and frequent updates at www.cdc.gov/coronavirus.
