North GA - Public health officials in North Georgia encourage residents to spread holiday cheer instead of the COVID-19 virus this holiday season. Along with vaccination, the best way to prevent sharing the virus with others is to test for COVID-19 if symptomatic before going to holiday gatherings with family or larger crowds.
The Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) is offering FREE COVID-19 PCR testing at TestAndGo Kiosks placed in communities across Georgia that are open 24-7. The kiosk in the North Georgia Health District is located at the Piedmont Community Center, 824 Industrial Boulevard, Ellijay, GA 30540.
After completing a brief registration form, the kiosks dispense a test kit that includes a nasal swab, similar to other at-home tests, and instructions on collecting the specimen. Once the specimen is collected, it is safely packaged back into the kit and placed in the kiosk. The specimens are picked up daily and sent to an accredited lab for PCR testing.
