Antibody Testing Now Available In East Windsor

EAST WINDSOR, CT — The town of East Windsor is expanding its monthlong partnership with Priority Urgent Care of Ellington to offer antibody testing in addition to coronavirus drive-through testing.

Antibody testing will be performed at East Windsor High School on Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tests will be available to anyone interested in getting tested regardless of symptoms, insurance status or ability to pay.

Anyone interested in getting these tests is strongly encouraged to call 860-454-0678 to be evaluated by phone. Appointments are encouraged. The tests are drive-through only and not available to pedestrians for their safety.

"Dr. Rampal and his team at Priority Urgent Care have been providing a critical need for our community over the last several weeks by making drive-through testing available to East Windsor residents and others in the area," First Selectman Jason Bowsza said. "By adding antibody testing, our residents can now have a more complete picture as to their risk from this horrible virus. Access to this quick and easy testing will allow us to safely reopen - and hopefully keep open - our community in a responsible way. Dr. Rampal and his team have expanded on our goal of making testing available for our community in a way that is convenient and accessible, which has been a goal of ours for some time. We’re delighted to offer the opportunity to our residents."

Symptoms of COVID-19 are varied and can range from flu-like illness, abdominal symptoms and conjunctivitis.
