Dare County Health and Human Services Director Sheila Davies said Thursday they were working on a local initiative to provide a drive-thru testing site on the Outer Banks, and hoped to have more details this week.
Hospital emergency rooms and primary healthcare providers in the region have been able to provide tests for those who meet qualifying criteria.
Other parts of the state have large chain stores partnering with the federal government on setting up drive-thru testing.
The closest major retailer in North Carolina to have a mass testing site is a Walmart in Greenville, and there are some reportedly in the Hampton Roads area.
The state advises that those who are seeking a test for the coronavirus to call your health care provider or local health department to determine if you need to be tested. Many health care providers test patients at their offices, but not all do. Some require an appointment and/or a referral from a health care provider.
