Effective today, March 1, Carilion Clinic has closed its drive-thru COVID-19 testing sites on Barn road in Christiansburg and Postal Drive in Roanoke.
The decision was made because of the improvement in collective immunity and the availability of alternate testing sites including home antigen tests.
Testing center staff will assume new roles at other practices, and COVID-19 testing will remain available at primary care and VelocityCare sites in conjunction with an in-person or virtual visit. Patients can be seen by a provider and evaluated for appropriate testing and treatment.
