HUNTERSVILLE, NC — COVID testing has been challenging in North Mecklenburg County with long lines at StarMed testing sites and store shelves barren of at-home rapid tests.
A new mass testing site debuts Tuesday aiming to offer the Lake Norman area another option for free testing from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. weekdays at R.C. Bradford Park, 17005 Davidson-Concord Road.
Mako Medical is the testing provider and they require no proof of insurance, no ID, no appointment or doctor referral to be tested.
