Catawba County, NC – Due to a shift in state contracting, COVID-19 testing will now be offered on Tuesdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the back parking lot at Catawba County Public Health. 
This change goes into effect August 1. Although it will be the same location, due to the state contracting changes, the testing will be offered through Mako Medical and will be PCR tests.
