Free, drive-up rapid antigen and PCR tests available, no appointment required
VALDOSTA, Ga., Jan. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Ivy Medical, an innovative leader in fully customized diagnostic lab testing solutions, has opened a new free, Covid-19 testing site at Kingdom Builders Church, located at 1708 W. Gordon St. in Valdosta, in response to the rise in cases driven by the Omicron variant. The site is open from 8:00am-3:00pm, Monday through Saturday, and will offer no-cost rapid antigen and PCR testing. These hours may change as demand requires. No appointment or health insurance is required - patients can simply drive up or walk in. The Ivy Medical site is providing free rapid antigen tests, which deliver results within two hours, in addition to PCR tests, which take 24-72 hours for results. Testing is open to everyone, with or without symptoms.
"We know how hard it has been for families, students, and workers to get any Covid-19 test, let alone a free one, since cases began spiking," said Tristan Steele, CEO of Ivy Medical. "Ivy Medical has a deep connection to the Valdosta community, and we are proud to have been able to quickly set up a testing site that will help anyone in the area who needs a test, so we can protect ourselves, and our friends and neighbors, by slowing the spread of Covid-19."
