CHARLOTTE, NC — Atrium Health is hosting several mobile COVID-19 testing events in Mecklenburg County.

"If you’re having coronavirus symptoms, just walk up – you don’t need an appointment or identification. Some symptoms are fever, cough, shortness of breath, or loss of smell and/or taste," Atrium Health said. "This testing center is only for community members with symptoms of coronavirus. Atrium Health is not able to clear employees for 'Return to Work' at these locations."

For those with health insurance, cost of the test will be billed to the insurance company. For those without health insurance, federal funding will cover the cost of the test, Atrium Health said.
