Marlborough Down To One Free Coronavirus Testing Site

MARLBOROUGH, MA — Marlborough is now down to one free coronavirus testing site after one run by AFC Urgent Care closed last week, and the remaining Stop the Spread site is set to close by Jan. 15.

The AFC Urgent Care site had been open to Marlborough residents and city employers. AFC will still offer tests, but residents will have to either pay out of pocket or through an insurer. Marlborough had been using federal stimulus funds for the site, but that money has run out, officials said.

The remaining site is run by Marlborough Hospital and is located at the New England Sports Center. Otherwise, city officials are recommending residents seek testing at either the new site in Framingham or the two testing sites in Worcester.

The New England Sports Center site is open limited hours over the next two weeks due to the Christmas and New Year's holidays:

• Dec. 22 — 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
• Dec. 23 — 7 a.m. to 11 a.m.
• Dec. 28 — 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
• Dec. 29 — 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
• Dec. 30 — 7 a.m. to 11 a.m.
• Dec. 31 — 8 a.m. to noon

Mayor Arthur Vigeant has said the city is seeking ways to extend the New England Sports Center site beyond Jan. 15.
