South River Opens COVID Virus, Antibody Test Site

SOUTH RIVER, NJ — As New Jersey rapidly expands access to testing, the borough of South River is now opening a drive-thru COVID-19 testing site at the Saint Mary Coptic School.

The testing site will offer both blood draw tests for COVID-19 antibodies and COVID-19 nasal swab testing.

The site will be able to conduct up to 200 tests per day and will remain open as long as there is a demand for testing. Priority for COVID-19 nasal swab testing will be given to individuals experiencing symptoms and individuals who have been in close contact with somebody who has tested positive for COVID-19.
