BEVERLY, MA — Beverly residents will have three opportunities to obtain a free coronavirus test at Lynch Park this week. The tests will be available Wednesday and Thursday from 8 a.m. to noon and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. This is the PCR nasal swab test — which is less invasive than the PCR nasal pharyngeal test. Those who are in line prior to noon on Wednesday and Thursday, before 1 p.m. on Saturday, will be allowed to receive a test. The testing options come amid worries that coronavirus rates already on the rapid rise in the city — and across the region — will spike further following travel and family Thanksgiving gatherings. Beverly residents are encouraged to take advantage of these testing times to help protect those around them from potentially contracting the virus.
