HOLYOKE – Free "Stop the Spread" COVID-19 testing at Holyoke Community College has been extended through September 2021, according to the Holyoke Board of Health.
Drive-through testing at HCC is conducted six days a week in parking lot H near the western entrance to the Donahue Building on the college's main campus, 303 Homestead Ave. However, effective June 1, 2021, testing will move to Parking Lot M by the Bartley Center for Athletics & Recreation on the opposite side of campus.
Wait times for tests are not nearly as long as they used to be, according to site administrators, with only a handful of vehicles lined up at the busiest times.
HCC has been serving as a "Stop the Spread" drive-through testing site since last Auguest to help reduce the spread of COVID-19.
Drivers are asked to enter the campus from Homestead Avenue, turn left onto the Campus Road and proceed to parking lot H (or to parking lot M after June 1). There are signs and parking attendants on site to help guide traffic.
The HCC testing site is open Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m.; and Tuesday and Thursday from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. days or fewer.
Testing may sometimes be cancelled due to inclement weather. Be sure to visit the Holyoke Board of Health website for up-to-date information on cancellations:https://www.holyoke.org/departments/board-of-health
