“As of this week, the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Georgia has surged to nearly 200,000, with more than half of all Georgia cases reported in the last month,” said Congressman Scott. “Robust testing remains key to slowing the spread of this virus. I am proud to join with the Family Health Centers of Georgia and the Clayton County Fire and Emergency Services to provide free COVID-19 tests for anyone, ages 7 and up, at our drive-thru event this Saturday, August 8, at Mundy’s Mill High School.”

Scott continued, ”With a record high unemployment rate for Georgians during the COVID-19 pandemic, many families have struggled to keep food on their tables. The Atlanta Community Food Bank and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will provide free fresh food to families in need at our drive-thru event on Saturday.”
