MANHEIM, Pa. — Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health issued a public reminder Monday that its Community Testing Site, located at the Lancaster County Public Safety Training Center, will close as previously planned on Friday.

Both symptomatic and asymptomatic people can bet tested for COVID-19 exposure, travel, and return to work/school, all without physician orders, according to LG Health.

“The COVID-19 Community Testing site is another example of how our community collaborates in time of need,” said Alice Yoder, LG Health Executive Director, Community Health. “The site is part of LG Health’s ongoing efforts to strengthen public access to COVID-19 testing and treatment for people who might be experiencing barriers to accessing testing services.”
