(Gainesville) –Due to the decrease in testing demand, District 2 Public Health reports that the COVID-19 testing site at Sherwood Plaza in Hall County will close at the end of May. The testing site has been in operation since Fall 2021 as a partnership between District 2 Public Health, North Georgia Hospital System, and Mako Labs.
District 2 Public Health will continue operating two other COVID-19 testing sites located in Forsyth and Union Counties. Testing remains important, but vaccination is the best tool against COVID-19 to reduce hospitalizations and severe illness.
Health officials say It is not too late to get a COVID-19 vaccine or booster if eligible. Everyone 5 and older can be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and receive a booster. To learn more about COVID-19 visit phdistrict2.org.
The following testing sites will remain open:
Forsyth County – Central Park Recreation Complex
2300 Keith Bridge Rd., Cumming, GA 30040
Union County – Union General Hospital
35 Hospital Road, Blairsville, GA 30512
