The pop-up clinics will be accessible to all residents and will be held at Coca-Cola Park located at 1050 IronPigs Way, Allentown, PA. Testing will be available daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM starting Monday, January 4 through Friday, January 8. Residents are asked to enter Coca-Cola Park from American Parkway, using the left two lanes and following the signs for the PA Department of Health testing site. Please be alert and follow traffic patterns. Be prepared to wait in line for clinics upon arrival.
Up to 450 patients can be tested per day. Mid-nasal passage swab PCR tests will be performed. Testing is on a first-come, first-serve basis and is completely free to all patients. Patients must be ages three and older and are not required to show symptoms of COVID-19 in order to be tested. No appointment is necessary. Patients are encouraged to bring a photo-ID or insurance card. Registration will also be completed on-site. The turnaround time for testing results is two to seven days after testing.
The Pennsylvania Department of Health advises that individuals who are tested should self-quarantine while they await test results. Individuals who live with other people should self-quarantine in a private room and use a private bathroom if possible. Others living in the home with the individual awaiting test results should also stay at home.
For more information regarding the clinics, please contact the Lehigh County Office of Emergency Management at 610-782-4600.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
