APPOINTMENTS ARE REQUIRED PRIOR TO TESTING!
Effective Monday, January 11th, Athens-location testing will be reduced to 3 days per week: Monday through Wednesday. This change is necessary as we pivot toward more vaccine administration. There are other testing options available in the area and around the state. Visit the Castlight Location Finder to locate other testing options.
You can schedule a COVID-19 test even if you have no symptoms!
Please read the instructions below for information that may make navigating the form easier.
While online appointment scheduling is preferred, testing can also be scheduled by calling our Testing Hotline at 706-340-0996.
