Chemung County Offers Free COVID Testing

HORSEHEADS,N.Y.(WENY)-- Chemung County announced today that they will be scheduling a special Coronavirus testing event from September 21st through the 23rd at the Chemung County FairGrounds.
This announcement comes after positive cases showed up in both the Lighthouse Baptist Church in Horseheads and the Chemung County Jail.
The county is urging community members who know someone or have been to the Lighthouse Baptist Church to go to the Chemung County Website and schedule a free COVID-19 exam on either Monday between 12 and 6pm or on Tuesday and Wednesday between 11 AM and 5 PM.
The testing is open to the entire county and county officials would appreciate it if you would schedule your appointment ahead of time so they do not experience a large influx of residents all at the same time.
When you arrive at the testing center you will be asked to remain in your vehicle with the windows up and you will be guided through by officials as well as signs.
