More Than 200 Tested At Moorestown Coronavirus Mobile Test Site

MOORESTOWN, NJ — More than 200 Moorestown and Burlington County residents came out for the Burlington County Department of Health’s free coronavirus testing program at William Allen Middle School earlier this week, according to Moorestown police.

The testing is part of Burlington County's mobile testing program, which was launched this month in order to ensure that testing was available and accessible to all county residents. Previously the department offered free testing at a fixed clinic site at the county Emergency Services Complex in Westampton.

There is also a coronavirus testing site adjacent to the Virtua Health & Wellness Center on Young Avenue in Moorestown on Friday, Virtua announced. The address is 401 Young Avenue, Moorestown, N.J. 08057. It replaces Virtua's testing center in Willingboro. Read more here: Coronavirus Testing Site Opens In Moorestown
