BOSTON (WHDH) - Boston residents can get tested for the coronavirus for free at mobile testing sites in three neighborhoods.
Mayor Martin J. Walsh announced Sunday that free testing is available to all residents regardless of symptoms.
“Expanding access to COVID-19 testing, particularly in communities facing higher positive test rates of COVID-19, is vital to our response. Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have placed equity at the center of our response to ensure every Bostonian can stay healthy,” he said. “As we continue to see elevated COVID-19 activity in Boston, I want to thank our partners for their continued support for the City of Boston and our residents. In Boston, our decisions and planning are guided by public health metrics and the safety of all Bostonians.”
