The testing site is open to county residents, by appointment only, who have symptoms and meet other criteria, and who have received a referral for testing from a medical provider or primary care physician (at Jefferson, CAMcare Health Corporation or another provider).

Other individuals receiving priority treatment are from Governor Phil Murphy’s Executive Order 104, that are employees from grocery/food stores, pharmacies, medical supply stores, gas stations, healthcare facilities, and ancillary stores within healthcare facilities, supply chain drivers, utility employees and civil servants.

A drive-through testing site at the Waterfront opened April 1, and was initially set to be open April 15. Officials then said the site would remain open indefinitely. The status of the Camden County College testing site will be re-evaluated every two weeks.

The Freeholder Board is working with Jefferson Health New Jersey to run the site. Jefferson Health New Jersey currently has two drive-through testing sites, in Washington Township and in Cherry Hill. For more information, visit: https://newjersey.jeffersonhealth.org.
