ERIE COUNTY, N.Y. — Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz announced Tuesday that the Erie County Department of Health is expanding its COVID-19 testing operations.
Due to an increased demand, COVID-19 testing will now be available six days a week. Testing is available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Poloncarz is also reminding residents to get tested for COVID-19 when they feel sick, instead of assuming it's just a cold.
