Sussex County holds pop-up COVID test sites

Pop-up COVID testing locations and Curative trailer sites will be set up throughout Sussex County this week.

“Testing is the best way to track the spread of COVID-19 and monitor for outbreaks. But it’s not a replacement for basic public health measures during a pandemic,” said Gov. John Carney in a press release. “Wear a mask. Wash your hands. Avoid gathering with friends and family outside of your household. I know this holiday season is different and it’s hard. But stay vigilant and we’ll get through this.”

DEMA has coordinated community sites this week in addition to sites at Walgreens, and at various hospitals and healthcare locations. Delawareans can view a full list of COVID-19 testing options and locations at de.gov/gettested.

Delawareans are encouraged to check the State of Delaware’s new testing calendar for updates as more pop-up testing locations are confirmed.

Testing sites with a fixed schedule, such as pharmacies, may have different holiday hours. Check with the testing location ahead of time to confirm availability.

In the event of inclement weather, testing location updates will be posted to the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services’ social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
