Essential employees may be tested free – with or without symptoms

Starting Wednesday, May 6, regardless of symptoms, all frontline workers who are concerned about possible COVID-19 exposure can be tested.  After careful review, the Shelby County Health Department and local health providers decided to revise testing protocols to include testing individuals, with or without symptoms. Essential employees who feel sick or believe they have had contact with a COVID- 19 positive person, can be tested from the following workforces:

  • Healthcare 
  • First responders, such as paramedics, emergency medical technicians, law enforcement officers or firefighters
  • Fast food, gas stations, grocery stores, pharmacies
  • Correctional facilities, such as jails or prisons
