BELMONT, N.Y. — Allegany County hosted a free COVID-19 rapid drive-up testing site on Sunday.
The event was held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the BOCES Center in Belmont. No appointment was necessary, and anyone who got tested had to bring a photo ID.
The Health Department said Sunday's event was being added after a large turnout Saturday.
"We had a very large testing site (Saturday), we tested 236 people," according to Theresa Moore, from the Allegany County Department of Health.
The most recent data from the Allegany County health department shows there are 99 active cases of COVID-19.
It's estimated 100 people were tested at the drive-up testing site Sunday.
People who come to get tested are asked to remain in their car and wait for instructions upon arrival. Only people who are getting tested should be in the vehicle.
The testing event is being held by the Allegany County Department of Health and the New York State Department of Health.
The Health Department added if there is a large response again, you may only get swabbed at the site and then called with your results later in the day.
