The West Piedmont Health District on Monday announced a series of community testing events to provide free Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) testing for COVID-19 to increase availability in response to public demand. 

“The PCR test is a diagnostic test recommended for persons who have signs and symptoms of COVID-19 or are asymptomatic with a history of exposure to a COVID-19 case,” said Dr. Kerry Gateley, District Director. “Persons with pre-existing health conditions who have signs and symptoms of COVID-19 should seek testing immediately. Also, any person who is asymptomatic, regardless of its vaccination status, and has a history of exposure to COVID-19 case(s) can seek testing.”

The events will be held at the Martinsville National Guard Armory parking lot at 315 Commonwealth Blvd., on the following dates and times. 

January 19     12:30 – 4 p.m.

January 26    12:30 – 4 p.m.

February 2    12:30 – 4 p.m.

February 9    12:30 – 4 p.m.

February 16    12:30 – 4 p.m.

February 23    12:30 – 4 p.m. 

The tests are free of charge and limited to the first 100 people.
