ABERDEEN, NJ — Need a COVID test? This week, not only can you get one from the testing mega site that just opened at Brookdale Community College, but Aberdeen Twp. will also provide testing Thursday and Saturday, Jan. 27 and 29.

Either go to two places: 2 - 7 p.m. at Synergy Labs (152 Rt. 35 north in Aberdeen) or from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. at Aberdeen Town Hall.

Please bring ID and insurance. You will get PCR results returned in 24 hours. What Aberdeen offers is the COVID saliva test, not the rapid test, and you have to pay for it through your insurance.

If you want the rapid test, you have to go to the mega site at Brookdale, in the Robert Collins arena. They have rapid tests and their tests are also free.

Hours for the Brookdale site through the end of January:

  • Jan. 27 from 8 a.m. to noon

  • Jan. 28 from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

  • Jan. 29 from 8 a.m. to noon

  • Jan. 31 from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

You do not need an appointment; simply show up.
