www.GoodMoringGwinnett.com The Gwinnett, Newton and Rockdale Boards of Health have reached an agreement with Gwinnett convention officials to use the Infinite Energy Center as a remote site for testing people for the COVID-19 coronavirus disease — if it is needed.

Health department spokesman Chad Wasdin said agreements were reached with the Infinite Energy Center in Duluth and the Georgia International Horse Park in Conyers to use those locations as testing sites "if we expand our testing capacity."

In the Infinite Energy Center's case, one of its new parking decks would be used as the testing location.

"If we move to a larger-scale drive-through testing operation, the important message is that until new guidance is received from the Department of Public Health, the criteria to be tested won’t change," Wasdin said.


"We will still only test symptomatic individuals that are considered part of 'critical infrastructure' as outlined in the Governor’s executive order."

There is no schedule in place for when an expansion of testing capacity in Gwinnett, Newton or Rockdale counties could occur.
