The first location will be at the former Bader Field airport in the parking lot close to Surf Stadium. The second site is planned for the parking lot of the former Showboat Casino. According to the mayor, more details about the testing sites are expected in the near future.
The two new locations will bring the number of testing sites in Atlantic County to three, as the county already has a testing site up at the Hamilton Mall in Mays Landing.
