Free COVID-19 Testing Available In Berkeley County In November

Berkeley County, South Carolina – Fetter Health Care Network has announced it will continue serving the community through its COVID-19 testing clinics in Charleston and Berkeley Counties in November.

The latest updates to its mobile clinic schedule can be found at FetterCovid19Screening.org/testsites.

“As we near the holiday season and community members continue going about their everyday lives, our team’s top priority is to ensure that everyone has access to COVID-19 testing,” said Aretha R. Jones-Powers, CEO of Fetter. “We are encouraging patients to be cautious and to continue helping reduce the spread of COVID-19 through social distancing, wearing face coverings and remaining at home if they are experiencing symptoms.”

Fetter’s testing clinics rotate to different locations throughout the week based on the schedule below.

Individuals are simply asked to arrive at their preferred testing clinic location to receive an onsite provider screening and then a COVID-19 test.

Currently, tests are given with no out-of-pocket cost to patients. All insurance providers in South Carolina are covering the cost of COVID-19 testing. Patient insurance information will be processed in order to complete testing. No co-pays or deductibles are being charged. All patients will be served.
