Officials said the screening site is designed to alleviate the pressure on primary care physicians, hospitals and health care facilities. This site is primarily a screening area that will have limited testing capabilities for those people who meet stringent CDC testing guidelines.
Appointments are required. Walkups exhibiting no symptoms will not be tested.
People with prescriptions from primary care physicians or other health care providers need to make an appointment through the Prince George's County Health Department's COVID-19 hotline and telehealth services by calling 301-883-6627.
If the caller meets CDC testing guidelines, they will receive an appointment time and an appointment number (from one to 100 -- the person must keep their assigned appointment number) to go to the FedExField site on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday.
Persons must show up at their appointment time, with their appointment number and be able to answer questions based on their telehealth screening.
People who meet testing requirements outlined by the CDC will be tested and will be given instructions on home self-care and social distancing.
Those who do not meet CDC guidelines will not be tested. People who do not meet criteria but are symptomatic will receive instructions on home self-care and self-isolation, as needed.
