The Northampton County sponsored Covid-19 drive-thru testing site at Easton Hospital will remain open until May 22^nd. Hours of operation are Monday through Friday, from 10:00AM – 4:00PM. The Coronavirus testing site is located in the main parking lot at Easton Hospital, 250 S 21^st Street, Easton, PA 18042. The risk of viral transmission at a drive-thru site is much lower than at a walk-in clinic.

“As of Monday, 280 Northampton County residents have been tested for Covid-19 at our drive-thru site,” says Lamont McClure. “We can’t reopen our county until we know how prevalent the virus is in our community.”

Only residents from Northampton County will be accepted for testing and they must show at least one of the following CDC recognized symptoms of Covid-19 to be eligible: fever, dry cough, shortness of breath, chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat or loss of taste and/or smell. A prescription from a doctor is not required. Although insurance is not required to be tested participants should bring a photo ID and their insurance card, if they have one, with them.
