AS HOLIDAY WEEKEND COMES, HARTFORD URGES RESIDENTS TO GET COVID TEST
Published on December 21, 2021
Today, City of Hartford officials urged residents to get tested for COVID-19 and to get vaccinated or boosted in advance of this weekend’s holiday gatherings. There will be many opportunities for city residents to get tested for or vaccinated against COVID-19 from December 21st through December 26th.
“As COVID case rates continue to increase, it is more important than ever to get tested and, of course, to get your COVID-19 vaccine or booster shot,” said Liany E. Arroyo, the City of Hartford’s Director of Health and Human Services. “We’re proud that our local partners are committed to keeping testing accessible across the city right before the upcoming holidays. For the safety of yourself and your family during the holidays, visit any one of these locations and make sure you are COVID negative before you attend any holiday gatherings. It is easy and can take as little as 30 minutes to get results, and in most cases, testing is free to you.”
The testing and vaccine clinics are made possible through local health centers and hospitals, including Charter Oak Health Center, Trinity Health, Hartford Healthcare, CVS at the Arroyo Center, St. Francis Hospital, and SEMA4.
