NASHVILLE (AP) — Tennessee is offering drive-through COVID-19 testing on Saturday in rural areas in each of the three grand divisions. The testing is part of a continuing effort to curb a rising number of COVID-19 cases in rural counties, according to a news release from Gov. Bill Lee's Unified Command Group.
The testing will take place at the Hardin County Fairgrounds in Savannah, Shelbyville's Iglesia Nueva Vida in Bedford County, Pulaski's Old Elliot-Popham Building in Giles County, and the Bradley County Health Department in Cleveland. Sites will be open from 9 a.m. to noon local time and will stay open until everyone in line has received a test.
Tennessee National Guard medics and Tennessee Department of Health personnel will staff the testing sites. Participants should receive their results within 72 hours. Information will be provided at the testing locations on what participants can expect after being tested.
