Arkoosh, Chair of the Montgomery County Board of Commissioners. "Even though our numbers continue to drop, we are still seeing high community transmission of coronavirus in Montgomery County. We encourage anyone who needs a COVID-19 test to visit one of our sites to get tested.”
 
The Lansdale testing site will join the county’s five existing testing sites already in operation. County-run test sites operate Monday through Friday at the following locations:

Phone registration opens at 8:30 a.m. and lines will be open until all appointment slots are filled. Language line interpretation is available. Testing is free and available for everyone, there is no requirement on age, exposure, or showing signs of symptoms.
 
The Montgomery County PCR COVID-19 testing sites are by appointment only, do not require a vehicle, and are self-administered tests. This YouTube video shows what to expect for the self-swab test. These sites are outdoors and are subject to closure on short notice due to inclement weather.

PCR test results are typically returned in 2-3 days. The fastest way to get test results is to create an account with the County’s lab provider, MAKO. To do this, text MAKO to 66349 or visit mako.luminatehealth.com to receive an electronic copy of test results.
