Finding positive cases helps the state track down anyone who might have been exposed and stop them from infecting others.
Newark rapid tests
If you want a test fast — and free, like all other state sponsored testing — Newark Urgent Care is holding a two-day-around-the-clock Rapid COVID testing event from Tuesday, Nov. 17, at 10 a.m. through Thursday, Nov. 19, at 10 a.m. Results should be available within 20 minutes. It welcomes any asymptomatic person.
This is a walk-in event, but no appointment is needed. The rapid test uses a nasal swab sample.
The clinic is at 324 E. Main Street, Newark. It has arranged for extra parking to handle additional traffic volume, and there will be police on site to help direct the traffic.
The clinic will continue to see patients who come because of other illnesses and injuries routinely see there.
Any person who is having COVID symptoms and suspects they have it can be seen, but will be registered and billed as a regular patient. If appropriate, rapid COVID test will be done and/or a sample will be sent to LabCorp.
