Middlesex Co. Still Offering Free, Walk-Up Coronavirus Testing

NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ — Middlesex County is still offering free, walk-up COVID-19 testing in New Brunswick, but there is a location change:

Beginning August 20, COVID-19 testing will be conducted at the Youth Sports Complex, 419 Joyce Kilmer Avenue, New Brunswick.

The County has closed the walk-up facility at the Redshaw Elementary School in order to allow the school district to prepare for the school year.

Both this site and the drive-thru site in Piscataway are offering free testing for symptomatic and asymptomatic residents; both sites use the saliva spit test developed at Rutgers University labs.

You still have to register and prove you are a Middlesex County resident; the testing is only available to Middlesex County residents:

Registration and testing dates can be found at: http://www.middlesexcountynj.gov/Government/Departments/PSH/Pages/COVID-19--Testing.aspx

Testing is free and by appointment only, booked up to three days in advance of the testing date. Residents can book an appointment by visiting middlesexcountynj.gov/covid19testing or calling 732-745-3100. The registration form is available in both Spanish and Guajarati, and the call center is staffed with individuals who speak multiple languages to assist residents.
