COVID-19 Testing Available for Prince William County Community on Friday May 29

PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, VA – Prince William County government, in conjunction with the Prince William Health District, Virginia Department of Health and Mako Medical Laboratories, is offering free, drive-thru testing for COVID-19 on Friday, May 29, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Hylton Memorial Chapel, 14640 Potomac Mills Road in Woodbridge. The testing is intended for those in the Prince William community, to include the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park.

This comes just as the Phase One re-opening of Northern Virginia non-essential businesses begins under Governor Northam’s announcement earlier this week.

Gates will open at 8:30 a.m. and tickets distributed on a first-come, first-served basis with an allocated return time. To manage traffic flow in and around the chapel, those interested in attending should arrive at 8:30 a.m. Once all tickets are distributed and the site reaches capacity, the site will close to additional cars. 

Those who wish to attend should arrive in passenger vehicles or pickup trucks, as the site is unable to accommodate oversized vehicles. The site can accommodate a limited number of people arriving on foot or via mass transit.

Also, everyone arriving at the site should wear face coverings and leave them on until instructed by a clinician. More information about face coverings is available at pwcgov.org/COVID19.

Those tested will need to provide information including name, date of birth, address, phone number and current symptoms.
