SARANAC LAKE – On Wednesday, Adirondack Health will conduct mobile testing clinics in the Hamilton County towns of Inlet and Long Lake:

¯ 9 to 11 a.m., Fern Park Recreation Area, Loomis Road, Inlet

¯ 1 to 3 p.m., Long Lake Municipal Parking Lot, 1179 Main St., Long Lake

Preregistration is strongly recommended, as preregistered individuals will be prioritized and experience shorter wait times at the mobile test site. To preregister, contact the Adirondack Health COVID-19 clinic at 518-897-2462.

There is no direct cost to the individual being tested, but Adirondack Health will collect health insurance information and bill insurance companies. Insurance companies, in turn, are prohibited by New York state from charging co-pays or deductibles for COVID-19 testing. Individuals without health insurance will be tested free of charge.

Testing is open to everyone, symptomatic or asymptomatic, regardless of employment status or category. A doctor’s order is suggested but not required. Every COVID-19 test will entail a sinus swab.

The decision to resume mobile testing follows the significant increase in COVID-19 cases throughout the north country.
