For Immediate Release: May 24, 2020
The City of Alexandria and the Alexandria Health Department (AHD) strongly urge everyone to follow state orders to STAY HOME except for essential trips such as food purchases and medical care. If you must leave your home, keep 6 feet apart from others when in public, and wear a cloth face covering if you cannot maintain physical distance. Your neighbors and loved ones are counting on you to stop the spread of COVID-19.
Keeping Community Testing for Those Who Need It Most
AHD and the City are supporting two free COVID-19 community testing events tomorrow, May 25. Although testing will be open to anyone over the age of 2, the primary purpose will be for community members who have not previously been able to access testing. Residents with primary care physicians should contact those offices to obtain screening and testing.
