COVID-19 Centralized Screening Area is Closing

By Vernishia R. Vaughn

Due to decreased demand for COVID-19 testing and vaccinations, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center’s (WRNMMC) COVID-19 Centralized Screening Area (CSA) will permanently close on Friday, Feb. 3. 
“Closing the CSA allows WRNMMC to realign our resources to serve our patient population better,” shared Army Col. (Dr.) Jason Blaylock, WRNMMC director of medical services. “COVID-19 testing will be available by appointment in our primary care clinics.” 
The closure also means that COVID-19 at-home rapid antigen self-testing kits will no longer be distributed at WRNMMC.
