| LITTLE ROCK – Drive-up testing for COVID-19 will be held from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., Dec. 9 at Johnson County Fairgrounds, 1586 Oakland Street in Clarksville. There will be no out-of-pocket cost for testing. Up to 200 community members will be tested.
The testing will be conducted by the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) in cooperation with City of Clarksville, Johnson County Fairgrounds, Arkansas Department of Veterans Affairs, Arkansas Blue Cross and Blue Shield and Bank of America Foundation. Flu vaccinations will also be available at the drive-up at no cost to the patient for those receiving a COVID-19 test.

Even if you don’t have any symptoms, wash your hands regularly and practice social distancing by staying at least 6 feet away from other people not in your household, and wear a mask in public.
