UnitedHealthcare of Georgia and Samson Tours have teamed up to bring the Mobile Unit to Atlanta to increase COVID-19 testing access and capacity in the community and keep residents safe. Testing is open to the public – no appointment needed – and is available on a first come, first served basis, according to a press release.

Testing takes place 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Sept. 28 at Atlanta Tech Village, 3423 Piedmont Rd NE, Atlanta. There will also be testing 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 5 at King Plow Arts Center, 887 West Marietta St NW, Atlanta.

According to the Georgia Department of Public Health, as of September 11, Atlanta has 289,123 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 6,204 deaths. Broader testing is critical to managing COVID-19. A Mobile Testing Unit will make stops at various locations in Atlanta providing free COVID-19 testing to local residents who fall into high-risk categories for the disease.

Testing is available for high-risk individuals, as prioritized by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as those at high risk for severe illness from COVID-19.
