Need help finding the nearest COVID-19 testing location in Boston? There’s a map for that.
Mayor Marty Walsh and the Boston Public Health Commission have created a mapping tool that shows all of the facilities where COVID-19 testing is available. The commission’s goal in creating the tool is to increase testing access for all Boston residents, particularly those living in neighborhoods experiencing higher rates of the novel coronavirus.
The map is available on boston.gov/coronavirus and bphc.org/coronavirus, and it will be updated as the city adds new testing sites. The interactive map also lists hours, addresses, and phone numbers for the testing locations.
“Every community deserves full access to COVID-19 testing. We will continue to work to expand access to testing for all residents across Boston, particularly our hardest hit communities,” Mayor Walsh said in a statement. “Access to neighborhood-based testing will help us quickly identify cases, and get people the care and support needed to recover and prevent the further spread of COVID-19.”
In a Feb. 11 tweet announcing new pop-up testing locations, the Boston Public Health Commission reminded residents that COVID-19 tests are important even with a vaccine rollout in progress.
“As the #COVID19 vaccine rollout continues, we don’t want to lose track of testing,” the BPHC wrote. “Testing is a critical tool to #stopthespread of this virus.”
As the #COVID19 vaccine rollout continues, we don’t want to lose track of testing. Testing is a critical tool to #stopthespread of this virus. There is a free, walk-up testing site in Grove Hall today at the Prince Hall Grand Lodge at 24 Washington Street. https://t.co/CKWTZPeYmY pic.twitter.com/T6KC3jiq6a
