Atlantic County will continue to provide drive-thru COVID-19 testing by appointment only Tuesday, April 28 and Thursday, April 30 for symptomatic county residents with a doctor’s prescription. The testing will be conducted 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. behind the Hamilton Mall in Mays Landing.

Residents may make an appointment online at www.aclink.org. In addition to the doctor’s prescription, residents must also provide proof of residency, such as a driver’s license or utility bill, as well as the appointment confirmation.

Those who are unable to keep their appointments are asked to cancel so that others will have an opportunity to be tested.
