Walk-Up Coronavirus Testing In Framingham Extended

FRAMINGHAM, MA — As free coronavirus testing concludes on Friday at Keefe Tech, a new Framingham test site will continue offering walk-up service into September.

Testing at Amazing Things Arts Center began on Tuesday, and city officials said Wednesday that it will continue through at least Sept. 10. The testing will be available on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3 to 6 p.m., with no appointment needed.

The state brought testing to Framingham this month as part of the Stop the Spread campaign, which offers free coronavirus checks in communities that are seeing higher levels of the virus.

Also on Wednesday, Framingham reported that seven more city residents have tested positive for the virus — but the city's overall active cases has dropped. There were 109 active cases as of Wednesday, down from the 119 reported on Monday. Framingham has not reported any new coronavirus deaths since July 27.
