Mayor John Cooper’s office issued the following announcements regarding Metro’s citywide coronavirus (COVID-19) monitoring and response efforts in coordination with area hospitals, healthcare providers, medical colleges, and other community partners.
METRO COVID-19 RESPONSE
Beginning on Wednesday July 15th, hours of operation at all three Metro Community Assessment Centers will shift to 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, to help keep assessment center staff and volunteers safe during extreme daytime heat and to offer Davidson County residents more opportunities to receive COVID-19 tests outside of normal business hours. Testing at all Community Assessment Centers is free to the public.
METRO PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT
