SARANAC LAKE — Adirondack Health continued testing for COVID-19 this week at the Adirondack Medical Center and several mobile testing clinics.

  Mobile testing was held at Marcy Field in Keene on Tuesday, May 26, Northwood School in Lake Placid on Wednesday, May 27, L.P. Quinn Elementary School in Tupper Lake on Thursday, May 28, and is scheduled for 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Long Lake Central School on Friday, May 29.

Next week’s mobile testing schedule, according to Adirondack Health spokesman Matt Scollin, will be: Tuesday, June 2, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Franklin Town Hall, Vermontville; Wednesday, June 3, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Northwood School; Thursday, June 4, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., L.P. Quinn Elementary School; and Friday, June 5, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., St. Bernard’s Church parking lot.

Tests are also being offered afternoons throughout the week behind the Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake.

  To schedule an appointment, please contact your primary care provider or the COVID-19 clinic at 518-897-2462. There is no direct cost to the individual being tested, but Adirondack Health will collect health insurance information and bill insurance companies. Insurance companies, in turn, are prohibited by New York state from charging co-pays or deductibles for COVID-19 testing. Individuals without health insurance will still be tested free of charge.

  Testing is open to everyone, symptomatic or asymptomatic, regardless of employment status or category. A doctor’s order is suggested, but not required. Every COVID-19 test will entail a nasopharyngeal (sinus) swab, with the option to also have blood drawn to check for the presence of the COVID-19 antibody.

  Adirondack Health’s expanded testing efforts will continue for the foreseeable future, subject to the continued availability of COVID-19 test kits.
