Stop the Spread COVID-19 Testing Site to Continue
Mayor Carlo DeMaria is pleased to announce COVID-19 testing at the Samuel Gentile Recreation Center will continue through June 30. Cataldo Ambulance Services will continue to administer these tests Mondays through Thursdays from 7am-1pm and 2pm-7pm in addition to Fridays and Saturdays from noon-6pm.
“It is important that our residents continue to get tested,” said Mayor DeMaria. “Although our community is in the process of being vaccinated, we cannot forget that this virus has not been erased. If you don’t feel well or are displaying symptoms, please get tested.”
The Stop the Spread initiative was anticipated to end on March 31st. However, through the CARES Act funding, the initiative has been extended by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It is important for those who get tested to wear a mask, use hand sanitizer, and practice social distancing. Until we have defeated COVID-19, we need to take all precautions to remain healthy and safe.
As a reminder, the Recreation Center is an indoor walk-up site. There is parking available at the center as well as on street parking and overflow parking at Everett High School and the DCR hockey rink. Public transportation is also available close by.
