STONEHAM, MA — The number of confirmed cases of the coronavirus continues to rise as more testing becomes available, Stoneham health officials said this week. As of Tuesday, April 14, there were 157 total cases of the coronavirus in Stoneham. Sixty-five of those cases are active.

AFC Urgent Care will hold a drive-thru testing clinic Friday, April 17 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. for members and residents of Stoneham and the surrounding communities that qualify for coronavirus testing.

Upon completion of the telehealth screening and determination of qualification for testing, AFC Urgent Care will send a personalized doctor's order to that specific patient in order to be tested ‪on Friday, April 17.

If a prospective patient does not bring an AFC doctor's note to the drive through testing clinic, that patient will not be eligible for testing. Call ‪781-430-8161 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. if you are interested in a screening.
