DHEC Sponsors Free COVID-19 Testing Throughout The Upstate

The Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) is sponsoring another free COVID-19 testing throughout the Upstate.

DHEC is urging Upstate residents to have themselves tested every month, especially for those who are frequently engaging with others and are unable to follow social distancing protocol.

Testing is still free and open to anyone regardless of symptoms and no doctor recommendation is needed.  Just log on and pre-register at scdhec.gov/gettested.

Results are available within 72 hours.
