Free COVID-19 testing will return on July 9-10 to Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church through the continued partnership of state, county and local entities.
Testing at Shiloh has been extremely popular with residents with more than 1,200 tests conducted during two previous testing cycles.
The testing site tends to operate with little or no wait. No appointment is needed. Testing is free. Doctor’s orders are not needed, and those being tested do not need to show any signs of sickness.
Drive-through or walk-up testing is offered.

“Testing is an important tool to help limit the spread of this deadly disease,” Mayor Sheldon Neeley said. “I encourage all residents to get tested, even if you are not symptomatic. As restrictions are relaxed and more people begin interacting outside of their homes, you need to know for sure that you aren’t unknowingly putting your loved ones at risk.”
