(1/5) This #SundaySpotlight on #PublicHealth looks at our partnerships with states to stand up surge testing for #COVID19. @11AliveNews in #Atlanta covers my recent visit for the opening of a new site w/ @GovKemp at the @ATLairport. 11alive.com/article/news/h…

(2/5) These partnerships have been critical in helping increase access to #COVID19 testing. As @11AliveNews reports, “…on Wednesday, before all the totals had been calculated, the state had already scheduled nearly 1,800 appointments.”

(3/5) Testing is:
▪️ FREE
▪️ Available regardless of your symptoms
▪️ Can be scheduled ahead of time via doineedacovid19test.com. Results back in 48-72 hrs.

The @ATLairport site is open through 8/26, so if you’re in the #Atlanta area, make your appointment today!

(4/5) We all have a role to play in preventing the spread of #COVID19. Follow my 3 W’s to do your part –

#COVIDStopsWithMe

(5/5) By incorporating the 3⃣ W’s into our everyday lives, we are seeing improvements in our whole-of-America response. Keep it up, Georgia – and America!
