The Public Health Departments of Ontario, Seneca, and Yates counties announce free COVID-19 testing for the public beginning next week.
Each county has organized asymptomatic testing opportunities throughout the region. In addition, the counties have partnered with Finger Lakes Community Health (FLCH) to add additional asymptomatic testing opportunities in more locations.
Victor-Farmington Ambulance will add a site in Ontario County.
Testing availability for asymptomatic people has been challenging for these communities, said Mary Beer, public health director of Ontario County, with many who seek testing having to make lengthy trips to Monroe County.
