Board of Health to Suspend COVID-19 Testing at Greater Piney Grove site on Friday

DECATUR, Ga. – Due to staffing challenges, the DeKalb County Board of Health has cancelled all scheduled COVID-19 testing appointments at its Greater Piney Grove Baptist Church testing site, located at 1879 Glenwood Ave., SE, in Atlanta.

Those individuals who had appointments scheduled have been notified and provided options to reschedule or register for testing at another location, including testing sites in neighboring counties.

Appointments and registration for COVID-19 testing is required and available online. To ensure testing resources are available for individuals who have pre-registered for testing on their scheduled date and time, pre-registrations will be verified to ensure that the appointment date matches the actual day. Individuals scheduled for a future date will be asked to return on their scheduled day. COVID-19 testing is free and open to all individuals who wish to be tested. A driver’s license or identification card is not required.
