Testing Information - Putting it all together.
There is a lot of information, and it would appear different avenues to get tested. We want to pass on that this is a large effort that ramped up the testing capability in our State. It may seem disjointed but it's all heading in the same direction. Our strategy has been to share facts from primary sources with you throughout this, give us a call or send us a message if we can help.
It does not appear that if you call one you will be referred to the other testing sites even if they are closer. This is less than optimal, and we have heard they are working on making a one-stop-shop method. The take home is that if you need to be tested there is plenty of capability available.
The Fulton County Board of Health is staffing a COVID-19 Hotline at 404-613-8150 . You can call this number to receive an appointment for testing. We do know that the testing site they send most callers from North Fulton is located in Alpharetta.
