Press release from Buncombe County Health and Human Services:
The Thursday, September 17th COVID-19 Community Testing Site at the Buncombe County Sports Complex is cancelled following the National Weather Service’s forecast for heavy rains and stormy conditions. The public will be notified of these details via Buncombe County Government media channels. Notification of weather-related cancellations of testing sites for any future dates will be sent no later than 9am on the day of the testing.
COVID-19 testing is available through urgent cares, pharmacies, and medical providers. The intent of the Buncombe County community testing sites is to serve those who have symptoms of COVID-19 or are close contacts to lab-confirmed cases of COVID-19, and certain populations who are disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 and do not have access to resources for testing.
