TESTING

Burlington County is now testing residents for coronavirus, whether they have symptoms or not. The Department of Health will continue its policy of testing non-resident first responders and hospital employees working in Burlington County who present their employee IDs.

County testing takes place on  Tuesdays and Thursdays and is located at the Emergency Services Training Center behind the Burlington County Institute of Technology off Woodlane Road in Westampton.

No doctor's prescription is needed, and appointments can be made for free. To make an appointment, call 609 726-7097. To access the testing site and to ensure accuracy make appointments using the name on your official ID.

BUSINESS
Non-essential businesses in New Jersey were permitted to reopen for curbside pickup Monday morning, a development that was welcomed by Mayor Ryan Horner.

Cinnaminson Patch has set up a directory business owners can use to let people know they are open. Details on the directory and the form to enter your business can be found here.

SCHOOLS
Schools remain closed and the district has not said what will be done for graduation. Patch is building a virtual yearbook, profiling local grads from across Cinnaminson and all of New Jersey, and we need your help to do it. Instructions on how to participate can be found here.
