Beginning Thursday, regional drive-thru and indoor walk-in COVID-19 testing clinics will be held in Monroe County.

The clinic will be held at Pocono Mountain West High School Sullivan Trail Campus Lot A, 181 Panther Lane, Pocono Summit. Testing will be available daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. starting Thursday through Monday.

The AMI testing sites will be open to anyone who feels they need a test. It is important that even people with no symptoms who test positive isolate to stop the spread of COVID-19.

Up to 450 patients can be tested per day. Mid-nasal passage swab PCR tests will be performed. Testing is on a first-come, first-serve basis and is completely free to all patients. Testing is also open to people who are not county residents. Patients must be ages 3 and older and are not required to show symptoms of COVID-19 in order to be tested. No appointment is necessary. Patients are encouraged to bring a photo-ID or insurance card. Registration will also be completed on-site. The turnaround time for testing results is two to seven days after testing.

People who are tested should self-quarantine while they await test results. Individuals who live with other people should self-quarantine in a private room and use a private bathroom if possible. Others living in the home with the individual awaiting test results should also stay at home.
