COVID-19 Testing
If you are seeking COVID-19 testing - whether you are feeling ill, might have been exposed or for some other reason - there are multiple options in the area. Please note that different test sites have different requirements and set-ups and most options require making an appointment in advance. You may also be able to receive a test through your primary care provider.
CCPHC Drive-Thru Test Site
Clay County Public Health Center offers free COVID-19 testing for Clay County residents at our drive-thru mobile clinic.
Testing is by appointment only. If you wish to be tested, please fill out the Testing Questionnaire. Please only fill out one request for testing, as multiple requests delays our response time.
See our FAQs below for more details!
Please note: The CCPHC test site may close or be delayed in the case of inclement weather. If this occurs, any residents with an appointment at that time will be contacted as soon as possible to be notified and to reschedule.
