Free Coronavirus Testing In Peabody On Wednesday

PEABODY, MA — Peabody residents are eligible for free coronavirus testing on Wednesday at Comunidade de Christo Church.

The testing will be conducted between 4 and 7 p.m. for those 5 years old or older.

This test site is open to Peabody residents only and both proof of residency and pre-registration is required. Free testing sites for all state residents are available in Lynn and Salem.

Peabody was a "yellow" caution community in the latest state interactive map released on Wednesday — though the positive-test rate had improved over the previous two weeks.

Links to register can be found here.

Insurance is not required and both Spanish and Portuguese will be available in Peabody.

The city of Peabody, Atlantic Ambulance, Lahey Medical Center and the J.B. Lahey Foundation are sponsoring the testing.
