The Orange County Health Department has announced a weekly COVID-19 testing event that will take place every Wednesday in Chapel Hill.

The testing event will take place every Wednesday for the foreseeable future from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the R-7 parking lot at 725 Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard in Chapel Hill.

Anyone is welcome to come for a coronavirus test. Registration is on site and COVID-19 tests are free.

This testing event follows others held recently in Chapel Hill and Hillsborough, as the health department continues to measure the impact of several clusters originating from UNC’s campus within the broader community.
