Governor Brian P. Kemp and the Georgia Department of Public Health announced there are currently sixty-six active COVID-19 specimen collection sites across Georgia. The state added nineteen sites in the past eleven days, including one-day-only sites, with plans to open additional sites in the coming days.

"I want to thank Dr. Toomey and her team at the Georgia Department of Public Health for their tireless work as we continue to drastically ramp up testing in Georgia," said Governor Kemp. "Expanded testing remains one of our top priorities to continue the process of safely reopening our state. I am calling on all Georgians who are experiencing symptoms or who fear that they have been exposed to COVID-19 to contact their medical provider or local public health officials to schedule an appointment for testing."

“Expanding our testing sites is critical to testing more broadly throughout the state,” said DPH Commissioner Kathleen E. Toomey, MD, MPH. “This testing will serve as the entry point to contact tracing, which will help stop continued spread of COVID-19.”

The AU Health ExpressCare app is free, user-friendly, and available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week to screen for COVID-19 symptoms. Georgians can access the app by visiting augustahealth.org, downloading AU Health ExpressCare on their smartphone, or calling (706) 721-1852.
