Bon Secours – Southern Virginia Medical Center

Emergency Departments (EDs) are NOT public COVID testing locations. Please contact your healthcare provider or local health department for COVID testing site locations.

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, please go to the nearest ED. Patients who are seen in the ED will receive a medical screening examination and a thorough evaluation. Not all patients will receive COVID testing as part of their evaluation in the emergency department.

Vaccination - including a booster for those who are eligible - continues to be the most effective way to protect against COVID.
