Prisma Health Offers New COVID-19 Community Testing Events Next Week

Prisma Health is offering 2 new COVID-19 community testing events next week in the upstate.

Prisma officials said that these testings are free and will start at 8 a.m. until 12 noon. Below are the dates and times.

• July 7 (Tuesday) – Seneca Middle School, 810 W. South Fourth St., Seneca
• July 10–11 (Friday and Saturday) – Carolina High School and Academy, 2725 Anderson Rd., Greenville

Physician-ordered testing for patients who already have providers, have completed a Virtual Visit or need pre-surgical testing needs to be performed at hospital-based testing sites as instructed by their providers, Prisma said.

Reminders about the testing in the community testing sites:

• People will be tested for active COVID-19 infections.
• No one needs a doctor’s order.
• Testing will be given regardless of ability to pay.
• No appointment is needed.
• Spanish-speaking Prisma Health team members will be available at every site.
• All those taking part will be given masks when they arrive. They will also be asked to maintain social distancing.
• Test results should come back within four days.
• Everyone tested will receive follow-up information about test results – whether positive or negative – from providers at Prisma Health.
• Everyone will get tips on isolating at home if sick, caring for themselves, and seeking more help if symptoms worsen.
