When we do reopen, here are measures that have been taken to adhere to the social distancing recommendations. 

• We have reduced the amount of testing seats.  This reduces our testing capacity by 50%, this may mean that you will experience longer wait times for available testing space.
• Please continue to monitor this site for updates to our hours of operation.

Thank you for your understanding and we apologize for any inconvenience this may create.
