New COVID-19 Testing Site Opens in Germantown

A new COVID-19 testing center opened Monday at the Germantown Upcounty Regional Services Center. 

Testing is drive-thru and by appointment only, said Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) spokesperson Mary Anderson. Patients must get a referral from a healthcare provider. 

The site will be open every Monday to Montgomery County residents. Anderson said the county hopes to be able to test 50-60 patients each day the center is open.
