https://wreg.com/news/gov-lee-announces-free-covid-19-testing-for-tennesseans-2-sites-in-tipton-fayette-counties/MEMPHIS, Tenn. Gov. Bill Lee announced Wednesday that free COVID-19 testing will be available to all Tennesseans regardless of whether they have symptoms.
Our clinical understanding of COVID-19 is changing rapidly and we need every Tennessean who isnt feeling well, even outside of the traditional COVID-19 symptoms of cough, fever or difficulty breathing, to come out and get tested, said Tennessee Department of Health Commissioner Dr. Lisa Piercey.
This weekend, April 18-19, the Tennessee National Guard is manning 15 drive-through testing sites across the state. Drive-through testing sites will also be available during the weekends of April 25-26 and May 2-3.
In addition to drive-through sites, all rural county health departments across the state offer free COVID-19 testing five days a week.
Shocked to see this article. Maybe ge is doing this, then will lie like hell about #s so he can reopen businesses. Sounds about right. 🤮

updating, referring viewers to Health Department. You just know they leaned on them to stop, and theyll do the same to the health departments, too.
