Brookline closes COVID-19 testing site
Community Content
Town Manager Mel Kleckner and Health Commissioner Dr. Swannie Jett recently informed the public that the town’s COVID-19 testing site closed March 4.
The Brookline Department of Public Health partnered with mPathy LLC in November to set up the testing site in Brookline for members of the community who showed COVID-19 symptoms or were identified as close contacts of positive cases. The site originally was to remain open through December, but that was extended for several months.
CARES Act funding used to operate the clinic has been depleted. Additionally, the number of tests given daily has dropped significantly in recent weeks.
