Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District Partners with Culpeper County for Free Drive-Through COVID-19 Testing
CULPEPER, VIRGINIA – On Thursday, December 9, 2021 there will be a FREE Drive-Through COVID-19 Testing site from 4 – 7 p.m. at Brandy Station Volunteer Fire Department located at 19601 Church Road, Brandy Station, VA. The parking lot will open at 3 p.m. and the first 300 individuals will be tested.
This one day testing site is open to everyone at no cost and will happen rain or shine. You don’t have to be experiencing symptoms or have a referral to be tested.
This free testing site is offered through a partnership between the Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District and Culpeper County. “This project expands on the work of our community partnership to provide accessible testing for everyone in our community,” said Culpeper County Emergency Manager Bill Ooten.
Rappahannock-Rapidan Medical Reserve Corps volunteers will help staff the testing site. Please be prepared to complete paperwork in your car while you wait. If you are experiencing symptoms, we recommend you wear a mask in your car especially if you have other passengers. You can expect the PCR test results to take 2-5 days on average.
“We encourage anyone who wants to be tested, especially those with symptoms consistent with COVID-19, to come out Thursday, December 9,” said Rappahannock-Rapidan Health District Director Dr. Colin Greene.
