SALEM, MA — One of Salem's coronavirus test sites will have limited hours this week because of staff shortages. The Curative mobile site at Riley Plaza will be open only three days this week on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Those who had previously scheduled an appointment for Monday and Wednesday were to be contacted by Curative to reschedule. The walk-up PCR test site recently began requiring appointments with increased demand amid the current virus surge. Free state "Stop the Spread" sites will be open this week at Salem High School (drive-thru) and St. Peter's Church (walk-up). More information on other testing options can be found here.
