This week in Carolina Forest, free COVID-19 testing is accessible primarily through local healthcare providers and community testing programs, though specific walk-in or drive-through testing site schedules for this exact week are less frequently published for this neighborhood.
One nearby option is CareNow Urgent Care in Carolina Forest at 4010 River Oaks Drive, Myrtle Beach, SC 29579. They provide COVID-19 testing including rapid antigen and PCR tests, offered alongside urgent care services. While testing is not explicitly free here, urgent care centers sometimes offer testing covered by insurance or through government programs; calling ahead to confirm free testing availability is advised.​
For free testing kits, South Carolina residents can order at-home COVID-19 test kits at no cost via the federal government website covidtests.gov. Each household can receive one order containing four tests, delivered while supplies last.​
The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) also partners with various organizations to hold free mobile and community testing clinics statewide, but their current specific scheduled sites near Carolina Forest for this week are not definitively listed online. It is recommended to check DHEC’s website or contact local health agencies for updated mobile testing locations.​
Residents in Carolina Forest can:
Visit CareNow Urgent Care for COVID-19 testing with potential insurance or program coverage.
Order free at-home test kits online through the government portal.
Check SC DHEC’s website or local health department announcements for any pop-up testing clinics during the week.
These options provide reasonable access to COVID-19 testing, though free walk-up clinic availability should be confirmed due to fluctuating schedules in 2025.
