BOSTON — Health officials are urging anyone who recently attended protests in Boston to get tested for coronavirus. The Public Health Commission warns demonstrators they should get tested, even if they have no COVID-19 symptoms.

Boston Mayor Marty Walsh announced Tuesday that the city partnered with East Boston Neighborhood Health Center to offer free coronavirus screenings at a pop-up location in Roxbury.

The testing facility will be open Wednesday and Thursday at Washington Park Mall’s parking lot from 12-7 p.m. Tests will be done on a walk-in or appointment basis.
