Salem announces free COVID testing for residents

SALEM — The city will offer free COVID-19 PCR tests for residents on Sunday, Jan. 9 from 1 to 5 p.m. and Tuesday, Jan. 11 from 4 to 8 p.m.

Testing through the program — the Salem Coronavirus Awareness Network (SCAN) — requires pre-registration and will take place at the Mayor Jean Levesque Community Life Center (CLC) located at 401 Bridge St.

Walk-ins will not be accepted at this site and residency is required when registering. No proof of citizenship or insurance is necessary to register or receive a test. 

“With the rapid rise in COVID-19 cases following the holidays, we are working hard to try to ensure that every Salem resident who needs a test is able to get one,” said Mayor Kimberley Driscoll. “The demand for testing is extremely high right now, so I encourage residents to be patient and only seek testing if they absolutely need it. Together we can help keep one another safe, reduce the likelihood of additional spread of the virus, and lessen the significant burden currently facing our hospitals and frontline healthcare workers.”

SCAN tests are administered by trained EMTs from Cataldo Ambulance and are processed at the Broad Institute. Test results, whether positive or negative, will be returned to residents via email from CareEvolve within 24 to 48 hours. If you do not receive your results in 48 hours, please call 844-422-8253.

Salem residents can also continue to receive free COVID-19 testing at any of the state-operated Stop the Spread testing sites in Massachusetts, including the two sites in Salem at Salem High School and St. Peter’s Church, as well as the Curative site in Salem at Riley Plaza.
