Department of Health Extends Free COVID-19 Testing Sites in Delaware, Monroe and Northampton Counties
04/26/2021
Harrisburg, PA - The Department of Health today announced that the COVID-19 testing sites, available through a partnership with AMI Expeditionary Healthcare (AMI), in Delaware, Monroe and Northampton counties have been extended.
“The virus is still present in our communities, which is evident by the recent rise in COVID-19 cases statewide,” Acting Secretary of Health Alison Beam said. “This reinforces the need for continued testing across the state. We encourage anyone who feels they need or want a test to take advantage of all COVID-19 testing clinics if they think they have been exposed to COVID-19. Much of the news and attention has shifted to COVID-19 vaccines, but testing is still a critical part of our response to ultimately stop the spread of COVID-19.”
