Drive-Thru Testing Facilities And At-Home Swab Testing List for All Your Holiday Gatherings
Let’s make our Christmas gatherings safe! We compiled a list of facilities and companies around the Metro for all your testing needs
With Covid-19 restrictions finally relaxing, more people are getting more confident to hold small-scale gatherings in time for the holidays. However, this shouldn’t mean that we throw all safety protocols out the window! We shouldn’t let our negligence pave the way for another spike in cases.
With this in mind, let’s make swab tests a priority for our face-to-face holiday gatherings, especially when it’s a bigger group of friends, family members, and colleagues coming together. With clinics and companies all across the metro offering home service, drive-thru, and bulk testing options, it shouldn’t be too hard to add that layer of safety net to our parties.
To help you find the best service that fits your needs and budget, we compiled the most trustworthy companies and clinics offering different types of Covid-19 testing across the metro.
