Dougherty County's resilience through COVID-19 touted as an inspirational model

Georgia Department of Public Health Commissioner Dr. Kathleen Toomey

ATLANTA — Attorney General Chris Carr and Georgia Department of Public Health Commissioner Dr. Kathleen Toomey are warning Georgians to beware of potential scams related to the heightened demand for COVID-19 testing.

“We urge all Georgians to be on the lookout for fraudulent COVID-19-related practices, specifically as it pertains to testing,” Carr said in a news release. “Unfortunately, scam artists seeking to take advantage of the increase in demand will attempt to con hard-working Georgians into paying for fake tests. Do your research to ensure you are visiting a legitimate operation and receiving results from a valid provider.”
