Kemp, Walmart, eTrueNorth Announce Mobile COVID-19 Testing Initiative
Atlanta, GA - Today Governor Brian P. Kemp announced the launch of a mobile COVID-19 testing initiative to set up drive-thru sites in communities without access to testing. Beginning Monday, April 27, the mobile unit will travel between Augusta (Hephzibah), Milledgeville, and Tifton on a rotating basis. The site is supported by Walmart, eTrueNorth, and state and local officials.
"Serving Augusta, Milledgeville, Tifton, and the surrounding regions, this mobile unit will be a game-changing step in our efforts to ensure access to COVID-19 across Georgia," said Governor Kemp. "Increased testing is critical as we continue the measured process of safely reopening parts of our state, and I am grateful to our many partners with Walmart, eTrueNorth, and in these communities which provided support to get this operation online."
"Walmart is committed to supporting the state of Georgia's efforts to expand COVID-19 testing, especially in communities that have had limited access to testing," said Glen Wilkins, Walmart Public Affairs Director for Georgia. "We are grateful to our pharmacists and associates who are supporting these testing sites, and to eTrueNorth and local officials as we work together to open sites that will help Georgians access timely testing."
The unit will test Georgians who are exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19. In addition, all health care providers and first responders can be tested whether or not they are exhibiting symptoms. An appointment for testing can be made at www.DoINeedaCOVID19test.com, but on-site scheduling also will be available.
The schedule for the mobile COVID-19 testing unit can be found below:
Augusta: Monday and Tuesday; 10 AM 3 PM, weather permitting Diamond Lakes Regional Park, 4335 Windsor Spring Road, Hephzibah, GA 30815
