General Information
General Information
The Health Department is offering drive-thru testing for certain individuals (e.g., those who are symptomatic and do not require medical care or hospitalization, healthcare workers and those who take care of vulnerable populations, and people who live in congregate settings where the disease can spread rapidly).
Those who qualify for drive-thru testing have been given a patient identification (PUI) number by their healthcare provider.
The Health Department is also responsible for tracking individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19 and any exposure to household or close contacts after initial symptom onset.
The Georgia Department of Public Health is looking for students to assist with COVID-19 contact tracing efforts.
Students will be assigned to assist one of the 18 public health districts according to proximity and will be assigned to a district team for contact tracing in that district. Initially students will work remotely and will need access to a computer and phone. There may be opportunity to also work locally. All students will be required to do a web-based training and will receive training materials for the contact tracing system. The web based provided by the Department of Public Health is required.

There are two shifts: morning (9 AM - 12 PM) and afternoon (1 PM - 4 PM).
Sign-up for as many slots as you please, but it is your responsibility to find a replacement if you cannot make a shift you are signed up for.
If slots are full, include your name in the alternate list, so you can be contacted if needed (add your phone number to the sign-up sheet as well).
The number of needed volunteers changes on a daily basis. You will receive an email the night before with who is working the next day's shifts.
