BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. – Through a partnership with Berkeley County government, county officials said Fetter Healthcare Network plans to open two new COVID-19 testing sites next week to reach more rural populations.
The opening dates and locations of the new sites are as follows:
• Tuesday, May 19 at Mt. Carmel AME Church, 1059 Old Black Oak Road, Moncks Corner, SC 29461
• Thursday, May 21 at Elijah Wright Health Center, 1681 Old Highway 6, Cross, SC 29436
Additional testing sites are expected to open later this month, according to county officials.
The testing sites will be open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. People are asked to wear face masks and practice social distancing. Please bring a picture ID and insurance card, if applicable. Same-day testing is available; however, individuals are urged to get screened before arriving.
Anyone experiencing cough, fever and shortness of breath can request a screening online at FetterCovid19Screening.org or by calling 1-800-365-7410 to connect with a Fetter Healthcare Network provider. Fetter is also offering FREE COVID-19 testing at sites in Dorchester, Charleston and Colleton counties.
Currently, all insurance providers in South Carolina are covering the full cost of COVID-19 testing. Patient insurance information will be processed during testing. Co-pays or deductibles will not be charged. All patients will be served regardless of their ability to pay.
