Pop-Up COVID Testing For Sparta Residents, Dec. 30

SPARTA, NJ — Sparta residents who would like a COVID test are able to pre-register for a pop-up testing site coming to Sparta on Thursday.

A2Z Diagnostics is planning to be at the VFW Building at 66 Main Street with COVID-19 by RT-PCR tests, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.

The samples are collected by both nasal or saliva methods, as those testing supplies are available.

Residents can pre-register by scanning the QR code in the image that Sparta Township Schools tweeted below on Wednesday about the testing site:

There is no out-of-pocket cost for this test, with it covered by insurance through the CARES Act.

Turnaround time is reportedly approximately 72 hours after the lab receives a person’s test, with results available through A2Z Diagnostics’ client portal and test message. However, the company is reporting on its website that test results may take up to five days to receive, with essential employees with the company, out ill, after testing positive themselves for COVID-19.
