Peabody Coronavirus Testing Clinic Added Thursday

PEABODY, MA — The Peabody Health Department has added another coronavirus testing date at Higgins Middle School after this week's test date filled up quickly.

Testing will take place Thursday for Peabody residents. Testing will be from 4 to 7 p.m. with proof of residency required. (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is a correction from an earlier publication.)

Residents are urged to pre-register here.

"Please be aware that pre-registration does not give you a specific appointment time," the Health Department said. "Demand for testing is very high right now and you should anticipate a significant wait."

Residents being tested in the drive-thru clinic are asked to approach the site from Perkins Street — not from Allen's Lane or any of the side streets.

Masks are required when interacting with test site staff.
