The clinic is only open to walk-ins (no appointments are required) and will only provide PCR testing. There will be no quick tests or saliva testing performed.
"Due to increased demand, once the test has been performed it's anticipated for results to be returned no earlier than five (5) days," the health department said in an update Monday afternoon.

According to the Ocean County Health Department, it's especially important to get tested if:

You are experiencing symptoms (fever, cough, shortness of breath, chills, sore throat, muscle pain, shivering, headache, or new loss of taste or smell)

You have been in close contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19

You are an essential worker (health care worker, first responder, food service worker, or transit worker)

You were recently in a large crowd where social distancing was hard to maintain

You recently traveled to an area or a state with high COVID-19 infection rates
