Free pop-up COVID-19 test sites are being rolled out this week, including one at River Valley Community College that will begin on October 11th. In a partnership with the State of New Hampshire and ClearChoiceMD Urgent Care, PCR testing for SARS CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 will be held from 9AM-3PM, 7 days a week at River Valley’s Claremont campus.
Last spring, RVCC successfully hosted a COVID-19 vaccination site administered by the New Hampshire National Guard. College President Alfred Williams said hosting the vaccination and now the testing site provides an important community service and helps build relationships with community partners and the public. Allied health students and other volunteers will be assisting at the site.
