More than 23,000 Tennesseans were tested for COVID-19 at 67 drive-through sites the past three weekends as part of Unified-Command Group's efforts to reduce barriers and widen access to testing for all Tennesseans regardless of symptoms.
On Sunday, a total of 136 people were tested from noon until 3 p.m. at the Giles County Agri-Park.
"Testing remains one of the most important tools for gaining more information in our fight against COVID-19, and the 23,000 tests we've completed over the last three weekends have provided incredibly valuable data," said Governor Bill Lee in a news release.
Soldiers and Airmen from the Tennessee National Guard supported Tennessee Department of Health personnel at 16 sites across the state on Saturday and Sunday.
Eight sites were operated on Saturday with 2,733 individuals tested and another eight sites on Sunday with 2,420 individuals test.
