Rest Of April Schedule At PNC Coronavirus Test Site In Holmdel

HOLMDEL, NJ — Here is the schedule for the rest of April for the free coronavirus testing offered at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel.

On Saturday, April 18, it will only be open for symptomatic first responders and healthcare workers. It will re-open to the general public on Monday, April 20. You do not need an appointment at the Holmdel test site, and it is free to be tested.

As Patch reported, the Edison test site is now offering saliva testing, where you spit into a test tube instead of a painful nasal swab. However, that is only available to Middlesex County residents and only at the Edison site; it is not yet offered at the PNC Bank Arts Center.

For the remainder of April, here are the hours at the PNC Bank Arts Center site. It opens at 8 a.m. on these days:

• Wednesday, April 15
• Saturday, April 18 (healthcare workers and first responders only)
• Monday, April 20
• Wednesday, April 22
• Saturday, April 25 (healthcare workers and first responders only)
• Monday, April 27
• Wednesday, April 29

Don't miss local and New Jersey announcements about coronavirus. Sign up for Patch alerts and daily newsletters.

The site was not open this past Monday, April 13 due to the rain and high winds. The Holmdel site is run by FEMA and the New Jersey Health Department.

In order to be eligible for testing, individuals must be current New Jersey residents and experiencing symptoms of respiratory illness. Priority will be given to symptomatic individuals experiencing cough, fever (99.6F or above) and shortness of breath.
