Released: March 29, 2021
Delaware County is conducting public drive-thru COVID-19 testing at Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital in Darby and the U.S. Army Reserve site in Upland during the week of March 29.
Both sites use standard mid-nasal PCR Nasal Swab test kits. There are no out-of-pocket costs or co-pays for COVID-19 testing at either site; however, individuals with health insurance are asked to please bring an ID and their insurance card. Masks or face coverings must be worn.
After several months of continuous testing, the Delaware County partnership with Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital to provide public COVID-19 testing will be discontinued as of 6 p.m. on Wednesday, March 31. Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital will continue to provide COVID-19 testing for its own patients, and will continue to work with the County of Delaware to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
The AMI Expeditionary Healthcare partnered site at the former U.S. Army Reserve site in Upland has been extended for one additional month of testing. Originally scheduled to close on Saturday, April 3, the site will now remain fully operational through Friday, April 30.
