New COVID test sites in DelCo

Delaware County now has the highest number of COVID-19 cases in the Southeastern PA region. In response to the surge in cases and the urgent demand for COVID-19 testing, Delaware County Council and the Delaware County COVID-19 Task Force have worked with private partners and the State to open three additional COVID-19 testing sites.

The drive-through sites will provide free PCR COVID-19 testing to hundreds of Delaware County residents each day — helping to address the growing and urgent need for testing to slow the virus’ spread amid the Omicron surge. To make an appointment, go here and follow the links.
