Centre County’s pop-up COVID-19 testing site is set to close. Here’s where else to get a test
County-funded COVID-19 testing is set to end this week. Local testing options are still available, but patients might have to get a referral and schedule an appointment prior to receiving one.
The pop-up testing site, located inside the former Bon-Ton at the Nittany Mall, will be open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday.
Operated by AMI Expeditionary Health and funded by county CARES Act funding, the free testing site can accommodate up to 300 tests per day.
Patients of all ages may utilize the site, and no symptoms or appointments are needed to receive a free test. A photo ID or insurance card are required upon arrival. Registration is completed on site.
