Beverly Coronavirus Testing Clinics Fill Up Fast

BEVERLY, MA — Demand for coronavirus testing in Beverly has caused both of the city's clinics this week to fill up with pre-registrations.

Beverly Mayor Mike Cahill said in a message to the community on Wednesday that while the city had asked for the testing company to put aside spots for walk-in testing that day at Beverly High School, it did not do so and all available spots were taken.

He said pre-registration slots for the Sunday drive-thru clinic at Beverly High have also all been filled and that registration is now closed as well.

Cahill said the city is planning two additional testing clinics for next week.
