Fulton County - GA issued the following announcement on May 18.
Fulton County is the first Georgia County to offer COVID-19 testing kiosks. The kiosks, located in the Fulton County Government Center and the Fulton County Courthouse, allow residents to easily access COVID-19 PCR testing.
The testing kiosks use a combination of self-testing and virtual services allowing for wider accessibility and ease of use.
“Fulton County continues to be on the leading edge of innovation in our COVID-19 response. I am excited about this major step in the battle to save lives,” said Fulton County
Commissioner Robb Pitts.
After accessing a sample kit from the kiosk, the patient scans the QR code on the test package to start their testing appointment. At that point a clinician will guide the patient through the
collection process to ensure that a proper sample is collected. Once the sample has been collected, the patient can place the completed test kit in a Sick.org drop box located next to the
kiosks.
Samples are collected from drop boxes six days a week, Monday through Saturday. Patients will typically expect to receive results from their PCR test via email within 48 hours. Sick.org will bill patients’ insurance or patients can self-pay for $89.00.
Fulton County residents in need of free COVID-19 testing may also access FREE home test kits offered at many community locations www.fultoncountyga.gov/hometestkit
