None of the Sentara COVID-19 Drive-Thru Screening and Testing locations were open over the weekend (March 28 and March 29). A Sentara spokesman told 10 On Your Side, “We are making decisions about drive-through sites and hours of operation day-by-day, based on available testing supplies and utilization trends.”
The most up-to-date drive-thru screening and testing information is available at www.sentara.com/coronavirus.
If you receive a call from someone claiming to be with Sentara Healthcare offering you a test, on the phone or in person at your home, deny their request and call police. Sentara says it is a scam.
