Coronavirus Testing At Ripken Stadium: How To Book An Appointment

ABERDEEN, MD — After the one-day, drive-thru coronavirus testing event at Ripken Stadium was postponed due to Tropical Storm Isaias, people can now schedule appointments for the new testing event online.

A doctor's order is not required to get tested for the virus. Officials say a nasal swab will be collected, and results may take four to five days to obtain. During the time between testing and receipt of results, people are advised to self-isolate at home.

To get tested at Ripken Stadium, people must be at least 12 years old and register for an appointment online.

• Agree on the consent form page.
• Click "Ripken Stadium" on the page of testing locations.
