Released: January 5, 2022
Delaware County now has the highest number of COVID-19 cases in the Southeastern PA region. In response to the surge in cases and the urgent demand for COVID-19 testing, Delaware County Council and the Delaware County COVID-19 Task Force have worked with private partners and the State to open three additional COVID-19 testing sites.
The drive-through sites will provide free PCR COVID-19 testing to hundreds of Delaware County residents each day — helping to address the growing and urgent need for testing to slow the virus’ spread amid the Omicron surge.

“The County commends our local partners and the State for coordinating efforts to offer increased access to testing as we face a surge in COVID-19 across the County,” said Delaware County Board of Health Chair and the County’s COVID-19 Task Force Director, Rosemarie Halt. “During this time of extremely high transmission, we remind residents of the critical need to wear well-fitted masks properly, adhere to social distancing, and get vaccinated and boosted. Vaccines remain our most effective tool to fight the Omicron strain and all residents are encouraged to get vaccinated.”
