The Tennessee Department of Health will offer 16 drive-through events across the state this weekend to make COVID-19 testing available to Tennesseans who are concerned about their health or the health of their family members.

On Sunday, testing will be offered from noon until 3 p.m. at the Giles County Agri-Park.

Anyone in Giles County with concerns about their health or the health of a family member is invited to come and receive testing for COVID-19.

This testing will be provided at no cost to participants, and those who come for testing can remain in their vehicles throughout the process of collecting their samples.

Health department nurses and National Guard medics at each site will collect nasal swabs from those who want to be tested. Test results may be available within 72 hours after the samples arrive at the lab, depending on lab volume.

Everyone who is tested will be contacted about their results, whether they are negative or positive, and given further instructions to protect their health and the health of those around them.

Anyone tested at these events should be prepared to isolate themselves at home while awaiting their test results.
