Clay emergency management said Clay County residents still have several options for COVID-19 testing.
Many private practices and physicians now have testing capabilities. If you are insured and have a primary care physician, contact your physician for evaluation and testing information.
If you do not have a primary care physician, testing is available at urgent care centers and at CVS and Walgreens locations.
If you are uninsured, testing can be obtained at the Federally Qualified Health Centers including the Palms Medical Group in Orange Park 904-688-3000, and at the Aza Health locations in Green Cove Springs 904-284-5904, and Keystone Heights 352-473-6595. Palms offers rapid testing but requires clients to be registered and to make an appointment.
All Clay County residents can also receive free COVID-19 testing at the state-funded location at the Regency Square Mall Sears parking lot at 9501 Arlington Expressway in Jacksonville. Testing is offered daily from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Appointments are recommended. Visit www.DoINeedACovid19Test.com to schedule a test.
