Here is our earlier story:

Decatur, GA — As the COVID-19 pandemic continues and the Omicron variant has increased demand for testing, residents are once again seeking tests in DeKalb County. Decaturish has compiled an updated list of COVID-19 testing sites in the area. Currently, these sites are primarily drive-thru testing sites.

Individual test providers can set their own testing fee. Ask about the cost, availability, and requirements for testing when you call for an appointment.

From Dec. 7 to Dec. 21, DeKalb County has seen a 220% increase in cases, and Fulton County has seen a 243% increase in cases, according to the New York Times COVID dashboard.

Some drugstores such as CVS or Walgreens also offer COVID-19 testing, but have varied waiting and result times and particular qualifications for each site. A list of DeKalb area drugstores offering COVID-19 tests can be found here. Many stores also sell at-home COVID-19 antigen tests under the brand names BinaxNOW or Quickvue. You may also be able to get tested at your doctor’s office.
