Community Health Center, Inc. is expanding its COVID-19 testing capacity to Milford by opening a new testing site at the Connecticut Post Mall on Dec. 30. Testing at the mall will be in front of Sears and open from Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
An increasing number of COVID-19 positive cases in Connecticut has resulted in greater demand for testing. CHC offers testing at 18 locations throughout Connecticut. Testing is free, available to all ages, offered on a drive-in or walk-up basis and does not require an appointment. People receiving tests do not need to have symptoms and may return for repeat testing as needed.
“CHC is delighted to make this new testing resource available to residents of Milford and the surrounding communities,” CHC Western Region Vice President Amy Taylor said. “With people returning from holiday travel and students going back to school, additional capacity is needed to make sure everyone can stay safe as the pandemic continues through the winter months.”
“Expanded access to testing for those who work, live and access services in Milford is yet another critical step in our fight against COVID-19,” said Milford Mayor Benjamin Blake. “We are hopeful that Milford residents and those around us will take advantage of this local testing option to keep everyone as safe as possible as cases continue to remain at high levels.”
