Referrals from Healthcare Providers
If individuals are seeking referrals from healthcare providers, call ahead to make an appointment prior to arriving so the provider can take necessary precautions to keep other patients safe.

Referrals from Local Health Departments
Individuals will be screened by appropriate health department staff and referred to the closest, most convenient specimen collection site. You can view a list of phone numbers for health departments here.

Georgia Department of Public Health Sites

Search for a site by city, county or zip code here. People should not arrive unannounced or without a scheduled appointment at a DPH specimen collection site. Only individuals who have been evaluated by a healthcare provider or local health department and assigned a PUI # number will be seen at these drive-thru sites.
