Peabody Adds 3 More Coronavirus Testing Dates

PEABODY, MA —Peabody has added three more free, drive-thru coronavirus testing dates for residents at Higgins Middle School.

The next three days will be on Wednesdays starting next week from 4 to 8 p.m. Additional dates are Feb. 10 and Feb. 24. On Jan. 20, which is a school day, no one will be permitted on school grounds or lined up on Perkins Street prior to 3:30.

Pre-registration is requested, but not required, and can be done here for next week. Registration links will be made available one week prior to each test date.

"Pre-registration helps us plan for staffing, spread out the car volume, and speed up the process," the Peabody Health Department said. "However, it does not guarantee that you will be able to be tested at your scheduled time. We anticipate long lines at all of our clinics, so please plan accordingly."

Those who do not want to wait in line, or need testing on different dates, can get tested at the Salem "Stop the Spread" sites.
