A new COVID-19 test site will open in Galloway to provide as many as 1,000 free PCR tests a day, seven days a week. This collaborative effort of Atlantic County and Stockton University is provided with funding from the Centers of Disease Control and the New Jersey Department of Health.
County and university officials remind the public of the importance of testing as many people who have COVID-19 can spread it to others without having any symptoms.
The Atlantic County-Stockton University test site will be operated by eTrueNorth and located in an off-campus Stockton University building at 421 Chris Gaupp Drive in Galloway. It will hold a soft opening on Wednesday, January 19, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Beginning Thursday, January 20, it will be open 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Appointments are not required, but pre-registration is strongly encouraged to help avoid any long lines. Appointments can be made up to three days in advance.
Testing will be held indoors and is open to all New Jersey residents. Test results will be available from eTrueNorth in 3-5 days. No ID is required. Free parking is available on site.
To pre-register, participants may visit: https://www.doineedacovid19test.com/Galloway_NJ_14636.html
They may then select the Atlantic County-Stockton University site and choose their preferred date and time. Once their selection is made, they may save or print their voucher ID to present at the time of their appointment.
Notification of test result availability will be sent via email with online access to results. Results will be reported to the New Jersey Department of Health.
Should inclement weather or any other emergency force the closing of Stockton University, scheduled participants will receive an email notification of test site closing with instructions regarding re-scheduling of appointments.

Atlantic County and Stockton University expect to partner to open another free PCR test site in Atlantic City as early as next week. Details including location, dates, registration and more will be announced as they are confirmed.
