Here’s where you can get a COVID-19 PCR test in the Triangle
Not sure where to get a COVID-19 PCR test that satisfies Duke’s attestation requirement? If you’re in the Triangle, we’ve got you covered.
Students who are returning to campus in spring 2022 must show proof of a negative PCR test “within 48 hours” prior to their return. Additional instructions about attestation will be sent by email, administrators wrote last week.
The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services has a list of testing events and test sites on its website. The Durham County Department of Public Health, Orange and Wake Counties also have information about COVID-19 testing.
