All Union County Residents Welcomed At Coronavirus Testing Site

UNION, NJ — Beginning Monday the Union County Coronavirus Drive-Thru Test Center at Kean University will be available to all Union County residents who wish to be tested, whether or not they are experiencing symptoms.

Previously the site, at the Kean University Campus on Morris Avenue in Union Township, was only open to Union County residents who are experiencing coronavirus symptoms, first responders and front-line health workers.

"This expansion of the Test Center will mirror the states goal to increase testing capacity within our communities, building data that will capture virus rates to be used to help get our economy restarted responsibly in our County," said Union County Freeholder Chairman Alexander Mirabella.
