Starting this week, walk-up tests are available to the public in Camden from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., provided by Cooper University Health Care in conjunction with the Camden County Freeholder Board, Camden County Health Department and the Camden Coalition of Healthcare Providers. No appointment is necessary.
The days and Camden locations are as follows:
- Mondays: Veterans Memorial Family School, 800 N. 26th St., Camden, N.J. 08105
- Wednesdays: Cooper’s Poynt School, 201 State St., Camden, N.J. 08102
- Thursdays: Dr. Charles E. Brimm Medical Arts High School, 1626 Copewood St., Camden, N.J. 08103
During the holidays, testing will not be available on Dec. 24, 25, 31 and Jan. 1. The Camden sites will remain open until there is no longer a demand for testing.
In addition to these three sites, the Freeholder Board is opening an additional testing location in Lindenwold at the Camden County Department of Public Works complex.
“As COVID-19 cases in Camden rise, it is critical that we make testing accessible and responsive to the community’s needs,” said Kathleen Noonan, CEO of the Camden Coalition of Healthcare Providers.
The new sites will supplement two drive-up testing spots on the Cherry Hill campus of Camden County College and on the Cooper University Health Care campus in Camden, which have been testing more than 900 residents per day for COVID-19.
The Camden County College site is located at 1889 Marlton Pike East in Cherry Hill (the corner of Springdale Road and Route 70) and runs Monday-Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. The Cooper Campus site at the corner of Broadway and Martin Luther King Boulevard in Camden operates on the same schedule.
