East Brunswick COVID Test Guide: Find A Site As Cases Surge

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ — As the new year begins, COVID-19 cases have seen a township-wide spike and residents may be wondering where in East Brunswick to get a coronavirus test.

The easily transmissible omicron variant is causing cases to ramp up, and the delta variant is still in play and has been causing hospitalizations and deaths since summer.

While pharmacies, government clinics, doctor's offices and the state have offered places to get a free test or a vaccine, demand has increased amid the rise of the omicron variant.

At Home COVID-19 Test Kits
The New Jersey Department of Health also recently began offering free, at-home COVID-19 saliva test kits. UPS will ship the kit with next-day delivery, and a health care professional will virtually walk patients through the tests and answer questions. Find more info here.
