Lexington Medical Center and state health officials are providing free covid-19 testing at Brookland Baptist Church.

The tests will be at the church at 1066 Sunset Boulevard, West Columbia, Tuesday, June 16, 10 am to 3 pm.

 At the request of Sen. Nikki Setzler and Rev. Dr. Charles B. Jackson Sr., the free testing is open to those who live in the Cayce-West Columbia area.

You don't need to have symptoms. No appointments are necessary.

Clinicians June will administer the drive-thru tests. You do not need to get out of your car.

A clinician will place a special cotton swap in both sides of your nose and rotate it for about 15 seconds.

The SC Department of Health and Environmental Control is providing the test kits.
