Atlantic County will continue to provide COVID-19 testing next Tuesday and Thursday for symptomatic county residents with a doctor’s prescription. Testing is conducted from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. behind the Hamilton Mall in Mays Landing. Appointments can be made online at www.aclink.org.
Residents should come prepared with their doctor’s script, proof of residency such as a driver’s license or utility bill, and their appointment confirmation. Those who are unable to keep their appointments are asked to cancel so others may have an opportunity to be tested.
