Central Virginia Health District to host Flu & COVID-19 Testing Events
December 14, 21, and 28 at the Lynchburg Health Department
LYNCHBURG, Va. – The Central Virginia Health District has received tests that can detect both COVID-19 and Flu (A + B) with the same specimen collection. We will host three drive-up testing events in the upcoming weeks at the Lynchburg Health Department (307 Alleghany Ave.) side parking lot.
Testing will take place December 14, 21, and 28 from 12:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. Rapid antigen test results will be available within 25-30 minutes. Those getting tested must wait in their car for results to be delivered before they leave. Tests are free, while supplies last, for anyone experiencing COVID/flu like symptoms, regardless of vaccination or insurance status.
Please note this is a testing event and we cannot prescribe treatments for COVID-19 or the flu. Please direct any questions to: cvhdcovidtesting@vdh.virginia.gov
