Drive-Through Coronavirus Testing Site Coming to Enfield

ENFIELD, CT — A leading urgent care medical company has partnered with the town of Enfield to set up a drive-through COVID-19 testing site in town on Saturday, May 9. Appointments will be beginning at 9 a.m.

Licensed health care providers from PhysicianOne Urgent Care will set up the testing site at Enfield High School. Patients who have pre-registered to receive a car-side medical evaluation on the day of the event will be tested. Patients with symptoms of fever, cough, shortness of breath, loss of taste/smell, and general malaise are encouraged to register. In addition, PhysicianOne Urgent Care is offering COVID-19 testing to all essential workers, even those without symptoms.

Patients do not need to be current patients of PhysicianOne Urgent Care, but must complete a car-side medical evaluation pre-screen by PhysicianOne Urgent Care staff. Patients can register for testing by going to https://physicianoneurgentcare.com/enfield and following the prompts for testing registration.

Most health plans are covering the cost of COVID-19 related visits and testing with no cost to their members. PhysicianOne Urgent Care does recommend patients who are registering for testing confirm coverage with their individual health plan. Patients without insurance will have their COVID-19 pre-screen and testing billed to a government-sponsored program and will not be required to provide payment.

"The Town of Enfield is pleased to welcome PhysicianOne to our community for this worthwhile event," Town Manager Christopher Bromson said. "It is fundamentally important for area residents to have a clear understanding of their medical status in order to make informed decisions and to take appropriate protective steps for themselves and their families. It is our sincere hope that this process provides peace of mind to those who take advantage of it."

North Central District Health Department director Patrice Sulik said, "The Health District and town have been working closely to increase COVID testing locally and we are pleased that our joint efforts have resulted in this testing opportunity being offered in the town of Enfield."
