DPH Urges Georgians NOT to Go to Hospital Emergency
Departments for COVID Testing

Atlanta – To help keep hospital emergency departments open to treat
medical emergencies, individuals seeking COVID testing should not go to
hospital emergency departments, unless they are experiencing severe
COVID-19 symptoms requiring urgent medical attention. Asymptomatic
individuals or individuals with mild symptoms should find testing sites
other than hospital emergency departments.

COVID-19 testing locations are available throughout Georgia and can be found on the Georgia
Department of Public Health (DPH) website at https://dph.georgia.gov/covidtesting. We are working
with our lab partners to expand testing hours and add testing sites, however, lines will continue to be long
as thousands of Georgians want to get tested.

To help alleviate delays at testing sites, it is critical that people register BEFORE going to a DPH test site.
Online registration (https://dph.georgia.gov/covidtesting) will help alleviate back-ups at test sites and
free up staff to do more testing if they aren’t doing registration paperwork.

COVID vaccination is available statewide and is our best tool for ending this pandemic and reducing the
overwhelming strain on the healthcare system and healthcare providers. To find a COVID vaccination
location, visit https://dph.georgia.gov/covid-vaccine. Georgians aged 5 and older are eligible for
vaccination. Georgians 16 and older are eligible for boosters six months after completing their primary
vaccine series of either Moderna or Pfizer (only Pfizer is authorized for booster doses in 16- and 17- year-
olds) and two months after their J&J vaccine.

Basic prevention measures should also be followed to help prevent further spread of COVID and mitigate
outbreaks of infection, especially in public settings: wear a mask, physically distance, and wash your
hands frequently with soap and water.

                    Please call 911 to have an officer dispatched to
                    your location. We are working with CoCo's
                    cupboard to provide a safe shelter for the
                    animals until their owner can be located or the animal can be rehomed.
                    Our police will come to the last location the dog was seen and attempt to
                    take custody and transport back to the police department. At that time,
                    the officer will scan for a possible microchip to see if an owner can be
                    located. If not, they will reach out to our contact at CoCo's Cupboard to
                    come retrieve the dog and transport him/her to their facility.
