Save The Date for free, drive-through COVID-19 testing in Myrtle Beach and along the Grand Strand
Recognizing the urgent need for expanded COVID-19 testing, Tidelands Health and the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control are partnering to offer a large-scale community testing program in Horry, Georgetown and Williamsburg counties.
More than 1,000 people attended a recent mobile COVID-19 testing clinic at Myrtle Beach Pelicans Stadium. Due to number ...of people who attended, organizers have moved upcoming testing to larger facilities to accommodate the community.
Pre-screening is not required. Individuals under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian to give consent for testing. Participants simply drive up to be tested and remain in their car throughout the process. The following clinics are confirmed:
