Florida Department of Health Nassau County Expands COVID-19 Testing to Include Asymptomatic Individuals

5/13/2020

0 Comments

 
Florida Department of Health in Nassau County has expanded COVID-19 Specimen Collection Testing to include those individuals who are asymptomatic (without signs or symptoms of COVID-19) and wish to know their current status. This point-in- time testing is not antibody testing, it is diagnostic testing to show if an individual currently has the COVID-19 virus.

This will provide information regarding the number of active cases of COVID-19 within our community so we can best prepare and respond to this public health threat. The Department of Health in Nassau’s expanded testing initiative, called “May2Day” with a goal to test 2% of our community each month, began on May 7, 2020 in support of the Governor’s Safe. Smart. Step-by-Step. Plan for Florida’s Recovery.

Florida Department of Health in Nassau County’s COVID-19 Mobile Testing events will be offered, while test supplies last and weather permitting, on a first come, first serve basis, at identified locations across the county. Those who wish to be tested, please note the following:
  • This May2Day Expanded COVID-19 specimen collection/testing is a free service;
  • No more than four (4) people in the car;
  • A form of photo identification is needed for each person to be tested;
  • Bring your own pen to use when completing testing forms;
  • No pets in the car.
Florida Department of Health in Nassau County’s COVID-19 Specimen Collection Sites will vary based on location for increased accessibility to residents. Current testing locations are below:
  • Hilliard-Nassau County Health Department -37203 Pecan St, Hilliard, FL 32046 (1st and 3rd Thursday morning of May)
  • Callahan-45377 Mickler St, Callahan, FL 32011 (1st and 3rd Thursday afternoon of May)
  • Yulee-Yulee Middle School (bus zone)- 85439 Miner Rd, Yulee, FL 32097 (Thursday, May 14th)

As part of this expanded community testing effort, the COVID-19 Specimens for Testing will be shipped to a state-contracted commercial laboratory. Results of COVID-19 testing will be provided as the lab results become available to the Florida Department of Health in Nassau County. Routine testing of prioritized high-risk individuals who are ill are conducted at the Health Department clinics. For more information on Florida Department of Health in Nassau County’s COVID-19 Expanded Specimen Collection for Testing, please call 904-875-6100 or
