COVID Testing Site To Close At End Of January In Vienna

VIENNA, VA — Vienna will lose a COVID-19 testing location due to an emergency zoning allowance not being permitted beyond Dec. 31, 2021. Since then, Town Manager Mercury Payton authorized a wind-down period allowing the testing site to continue through the end of January.

The Personic Health Care testing site has been located at Emmaus United Church of Christ, 900 Maple Avenue East. Normally, this use at a church property would not be permitted under the town code. The Town Council had adopted a number of emergency zoning exceptions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The council had authorized the testing site under an emergency use provision at the point in the pandemic when vaccines were not available and testing sites were few.

But since the Virginia state of emergency expired at the end of June, Vienna's emergency use provision expires six months later on Dec. 31. The Personic testing site will be closed after January 2022. The extension had been requested by Emmaus United Church of Christ, citing increased COVID-19 infections in the region.

Aside from the 900 Maple Avenue East site in Vienna, Personic Health offers appointments for testing at other locations, including 8133 Leesburg Pike, Vienna, VA.
