To serve all members of our community, Buncombe County Health and Human Services will begin operating two drive through COVID-19 testing on Wednesday, March 18 from 2-6 p.m. Testing sites will be located at Biltmore Church in Arden and at UNC Asheville off of W.T. Weaver Boulevard. These sites will continue to operate throughout the week and the public can find operational times at www.buncombecounty.org/bcready. We will be operating this drive through clinic as long as tests are available and ask that community members be patient throughout the screening and testing process.
