The Peninsula Health District is offering eight free drive-through testing events at locations on the Peninsula this month — these are the last events offered in 2020.
The demand for testing has increased dramatically since Thanksgiving, according to a news release from the Peninsula Health District.
In addition to the neighborhood community-based testing events, the two districts are partnering with a private laboratory-Mako-to offer two larger events at Peninsula Health Center and Hampton Roads Convention Center.
Testing is free and available to ages 12 and older at all sites.
Starred events can test any age. Check the Peninsula Health District Facebook page for updates and weather cancellations:
