The City of Haverhill has made arrangements to provide free COVID-19 testing beginning this Saturday at the city’s Public Works Garage.
As of Thursday afternoon, the Saturday clinic, operated by AFC Urgent Care of Methuen, appeared to have reached capacity and is no longer accepting new registrations. Mayor James J. Fiorentini said one or two more days of testing will be scheduled. Tests are to be administered between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., at 500 Primrose St., Haverhill. Insurance is not required as the cost is being covered by the City of Haverhill with federal CARES money. Unlike two public sites operated earlier, there is no drive-up testing. Instead, residents will be tested inside the building and online pre-registration is required.
