A drive-thru COVID-19 testing event has been scheduled for next week in Moore County.
• January 15th – 9AM to 1PM at the Moore County Health Department located at 705 Pinehurst Avenue in Carthage.
The testing event is open to all residents of Moore County with no physician referral required. Testing is sponsored by the Moore County Health Department and Goshen Medical Center.
Everyone who wishes to participate in testing should pre-register by calling 910-267-2044. Pre-registering helps to minimize wait times for testing.

All testing participants are instructed to remain in their vehicle throughout the testing process.
The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) has a “Check My Symptoms” tool that can help determine if you’re recommended to be tested for COVID-19. That tool can be found at https://ncdhhs-covid19-dtra.powerappsportals.us/.
Other COVID-19 testing sites near you can be found by using the NCDHHS “Test Site Finder” application. That application can be found at https://covid19.ncdhhs.gov/about-covid-19/testing/find-my-testing-place.
NCDHHS has launched a COVID-19 Exposure Notification app called ‘SlowCOVIDNC’. The app will help North Carolinians slow the spread of the virus by alerting them when they may have been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.
