About East Tennessee Medical Group
Blount Memorial Hospital will begin offering COVID-19 drive-thru screening and testing at East Tennessee Medical Group
The drive-thru testing and screening center will be available from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday
People who go to the screening site will not automatically be tested for the coronavirus. To get tested, a person must have or have had a temperature of 100.4 degrees in addition to a cough or shortness of breath.
Doctors will decide whether a person should be tested — for either flu or coronavirus. The entire evaluation will be done while the individual remains in their car in one of the two available drive-thru lanes.
