Free COVID-19 testing is available this week at several locations in Charleston, SC, with both walk-in and drive-thru options. Key sites include One80 Place at 35 Walnut Street, which offers free, no-registration COVID-19 testing. Additionally, the Charleston Convention Center at 5000 Coliseum Drive (North Charleston) has drive-thru testing three days a week, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., through a partnership with Harris Teeter and Kroger Health—appointments are required and can be scheduled online. Some Charleston County public library branches are also distributing free COVID-19 rapid self-test kits while supplies last.
Area health departments remain a reliable resource for free onsite or self-test kits, and updated schedules for mobile and special pop-up clinics can typically be checked through the South Carolina Department of Public Health or the Charleston County Health Department. It is also possible to order free government at-home COVID-19 test kits for delivery via covidtests.gov.
For the latest locations, hours, eligibility, and whether appointments are necessary, it is always recommended to check specific provider websites or contact sites directly before heading out.
