Testing is still very important!
We are seeing an uptick in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations among those ages 18 to 49 over the past two weeks in North Carolina. Anyone who has symptoms of COVID-19, has been around people outside of their household or thinks they have been exposed to the virus should get tested.
LOCATION CHANGE:
Starting on April 1, 2021, COVID-19 testing through our state vendor Optum Serve will no longer be at the UNC R7 parking lot (725 MLK Blvd, Chapel Hill) and will instead be located in a more convenient location at the Southern Human Services Center (SHSC) at 2501 Homestead Road, Chapel Hill, NC 27516.
Weekday Testing Hillsborough:
COVID-19 testing is available every weekday Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm at Whitted Human Services Center at 300 W. Tryon St., Hillsborough NC 27278. Pre-registration is encouraged and may be done online. Select Orange County when registering: https://unityphm.com/campaigns/starmed
