Free COVID-19 Testing Offered in Southeastern CT as Cases Rise

NBC Universal, Inc.

As schools look at returning to full in-person learning, the Ledge Light Health District is warning schools about an increase in coronavirus cases in southeastern Connecticut.

The rates of COVID-19 infections have been rising in Southeastern Connecticut and free coronavirus testing is being offered in several places.

The Ledge Light Health District said it is working with the state to offer free testing, which is open to everyone regardless of whether you have symptoms or a doctor’s order. The health district said there is no fee and your insurance will not be billed.

New London businesses say people need to take the uptick in coronavirus cases seriously because more COVID-19 cases and restrictions could impact the bottom line.
