Walk-up COVID-19 Testing Next Week In Century; No Pre-screening Call Needed
May 9, 2020
Walk-up COVID-19 testing will be available next week in Century.
Community Health Northwest Florida will conduct the testing on Wednesday from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. at 440 East Hecker Road. There is no pre-screening required.
The testing is available for Escambia County, Florida, residents only.
The walk-up testing is intended for residents of Century and the surrounding area 18 and older who are symptomatic, or for other reasons feel the need to be tested for coronavirus (COVID-19). Test kit quantities are limited.
According to Community Health:
- The tests are no-cost to the individual. If you have health insurance, your insurance will cover cost If you do not have insurance. If you do not have insurance, you can still be tested free of charge.
- Testing is not a doctor visit. You will not receive a medical examination. Community Health will only be collecting a specimen to send to a lab for processing, and then you will be free to go.
- Once your test is complete, is it critical that you go home and self-isolate, wear a face covering and keep way from other people (including family members) to the best of your ability until results are known.
- Community Health will call to share test results when they are available along with instructions on what to do next. They should have a good working contact number for you. They will not leave test result information on a voicemail message.

@Concerned. Since antibodies testing is just coming into Florida (according to an article quoting Gov. DeSantis I read from this past Wednesday), I would call your doctor’s office and ask them where you can get one. That’s what I plan to do.
How do you get tested to see if you’ve already had it and have built up antibodies to it?
