Covid -19 Testing sites this week

RCAHD Sees Strong Demand for Testing Last week, RCAHD was pleased to secure some additional testing resources from a very limited supply. The 300 test kits were delivered on Wednesday, and we distributed them to the community the following day. The region is experiencing an overwhelming demand for testing, which has been impacted by a statewide scarcity of available rapid test kits. To help meet the demand for testing, RCAHD will hold two FREE Drive-Thru COVID Testing events this week. These are nasal PCR tests, no appointment necessary, while supplies last: Tuesday, Jan. 4, 1-5:00pm Salem Civic Center Thursday, Jan. 6, 3-5:00pm Fincastle Baptist Church

Covid Counts are up 1900 cases in the past 6 days in RCAHD with primary age groups 10- 50. Botetourt had 36 new cases in the past 7 days.
