13 additional free mobile, pop-up testing sites available

DHEC increases free pop up and moblie test clinics around the Palmetto state
ABC Columbia Staff,

Columbia, SC (WOLO) — As the Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) continues its mission to ramp up testing across the state,  the health department is holding 13 free COVID-19 mobile testing and pop up clinics.

State Health officials say they plan to test 2% of the state’s population, or 110,000 South Carolinians by the end of the month. Officials say this is a part of their ongoing effort to continue expanding access to free testing in rural and areas with a high volume of residents that may not otherwise have medical care. DHEC says these sites will also allow them to bring the necessary medical care to communities in need, and help slow the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19)
