Times Observer photo by Brian Ferry A public COVID-19 testing site opened Thursday in Warren.

Public COVID testing opened Thursday on the grounds of Warren State Hospital.

A crew from Aspen Medical International was testing people in their cars and those who walked in – both at the Israel Building.

A line of about 25 cars was waiting shortly before noon.

AMI COVID Strike Team Leader Millie MacDonald said about 150 people had been tested by noon.

The testing will continue daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. through Monday.

No registration, nor payment is required. Those being tested are asked to produce identification and insurance, if they have it.

Those looking to be tested do not need to be symptomatic nor have a referral from a doctor.
