BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. – The COVID-19 testing that was scheduled to occur Wednesday, May 27 at the Cainhoy Community Center in Huger has been canceled due to the threat of flooding from Tropical Storm Bertha. The Huger area is prone to flooding due to more low lying areas around French Quarter Creek. Fetter Healthcare Network, which is operating the mobile testing sites across Berkeley County, is scheduled to open additional sites in the coming weeks.

Please see the schedule below for the opening dates and locations:

  • Friday, May 29 at St. Stephen Recreational Field, 115 Ravenell Drive, St. Stephen, SC 29479
