GREENSBORO, N.C. — The Greensboro Transit Agency announced they are partnering with PHD/One Love Laboratory to provide free COVID-19 tests to the public starting Tuesday.

Greensboro Transit Agency officials said the free PCR tests will be provided in the GTA Meeting Room at the J. Douglas Gaylon Depot – 236-C E. Washington St.

Officials said the walk-up tests will be held Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Test results are sent electronically within 72 hours.
