Coronavirus Testing Continues Through August In Burlington County

BURLINGTON COUNTY, NJ — Burlington County residents can continue to get coronavirus testing twice a week through the end of August, officials announced.

Testing will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the Health Department building, 15 Pioneer Boulevard in Westampton. Testing will take place from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. each day.

“In an effort to improve reliability and delivery of test results, the County have established relationships with new COVID-19 testing vendors," Burlington County Health Director and Coronavirus Task Force Chair Dr. Herb Conaway said. "With our fellow citizens returning to school and work, having easy access testing is critical in the fight to stop the spread of COVID19.”

Last month, the Health Department took to the road, offering free coronavirus tests at various locations around Burlington County. Previously the department offered free drive-thru testing at a fixed clinic site at the county Emergency Services Complex in Westampton.

“The County will move to mail order testing in September so that residents can order a test, conduct it in the privacy of their own homes, and then receive results with a quick turnaround time,” Conaway said. “Since the beginning of the pandemic in March, Burlington County has conducted more than 8,000 free tests for our residents, and we will continue to offer testing as long as needed.”

Residents will also be able to access human and social services and information from the Hope One van that is sponsored by the Burlington County Sheriff’s Department. The Hope One van will be housed at the Health Department and will be available during testing hours.

The walk-up testing clinics are being made available for all county residents and first responders and health care workers employed in the county.
