ALBANY, Ga. — The COVID-19 testing site that has been outside Colquitt Regional Medical Center since April 24 will move Monday to the Colquitt County Health Department, 214 W. Central Ave. in Moultrie.
The site was established to serve both Colquitt Regional and a statewide effort by Augusta University. The Georgia Department of Public Health took over Augusta University’s operations in late May.
